The process of induction hardening is for the purpose of hardening the surface of components made from steel or other carbon-alloy metals. Components or parts include a wide assortment of axles, pins, rollers and shafts. As much as 15-mm hardness depths can be achieved. Parts are placed in a special […]
Ferrous metals, those that are rich in iron (Fe), often require normalizing. Why should this be the case? Is the grain size really that inconsistent and material-coarse after an iron workpiece has been heat-treated? Actually, yes, the grain size will alter in an iron workpiece if it’s continually processed. This […]
A second heat treatment effector exists in an industrial furnace, one that’s sometimes forgotten by the average layperson. Besides the heat source, the gas-fuelled or electrically energized thermal energy flowing evenly around a subject workpiece, there’s the atmosphere inside that sealed chamber to consider. Sometimes, the atmosphere is totally taken […]
