Heat Treating of Steels & Cast Irons for the Development of Microstructures and Mechanical Properties in Base Materials
Fine manufacturing processes create sturdy cast iron items and robust steel-reinforced components that resonate with structural soundness, but such mechanical solidity doesn’t just happen, not without an incorporated processing stage that intelligently manipulates key metallic properties until they fit a specified application.
Flame Hardening and Induction Heating: What are The Differences?
In the foundry, blazing hot furnaces melt metal and produce castings, parts that are imbued with crude properties. It is then down to special alloy-refining facilities to alter those material characteristics, to intelligently manipulate key microcrystalline properties within the alloy so that the metal suits its application.
