Air from our environment has various elements that can easily react with metals and cause undesirable results. Under room temperature, the moisture, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen that are present in the atmosphere can each cause small but varying reactions with metals. Most of the time, however, these reactions can […]
Metals typically undergo various heat treatment processes to alter their overall properties and characteristics. Generally, heat treatment is a group of industrial, thermal, or metalworking processes that are utilised to change the physical or chemical properties of a material. Aside from metals, other materials like glass can also maximise the […]
Different manufacturing industries maximise all the features that can be found on metals. For one, almost all metals can be easily fabricated into any shape, size, or design. Some of them can also withstand intense heat, pressure, force, corrosion, and other damaging elements on their surroundings. Their durability and longevity […]
Heat treatment is a type of metalworking process that is utilised to change and alter the physical and even the chemical properties of a specific metal material. This process typically deals with heating or chilling material to extreme temperatures so that the same material can be either hardened or softened. […]
Heat is typically required to change the formation and appearance of metals. However, as these heated metals react with air, the said interaction would manifest numerous unwanted changes to the materials such as discolouration, scale, or contamination. The effects of the interaction with air are brought by the oxidation process, […]
