What are Some of the Different Types of Annealing Process of Steel?
Engineering handbooks describe annealing as a stress reduction process. A workpiece goes into a furnace, is heated to its transformative temperature, then it slowly cools to room temperature. Hard and stressed when going into a heat treatment furnace, the part exits with a softer, plastic-deformable structure. Back with the different grades of steel, there’s more […]
What are Austenitic Stainless Steels and Why They Cannot Undergo Heat Treatment?
Copious quantities of nickel and chromium bolster a base ferrous structure. That’s what gives Austenitic Stainless Steel its face-centred microcrystalline identity. Infused with a little carbon, the alloy family gains its mainstream mechanical properties. So, what is that austenitic edge? The nickel-based flavouring is clear enough, but we want to know more about its practical […]
