It is highly essential to use heat treatment process to change the physical and chemical properties of cast alloy depending on how it will be used. As it undergoes a heat treatment process, most of its mechanical properties be it ferrous or non-ferrous in nature will be observed through their […]
The nitriding process improves the life expectancy of machine parts, so reducing the consumption of steel and energy and, as a result, the cost of the entire manufacturing process. For this reason, it may be considered both economically and ecologically beneficial. Economical and ecological advantages will at the same time […]
The nitriding process is perhaps one of the most misunderstood thermo-chemical surface treatment processes that are practiced today. So the process is not as old as, for example carburising. However, it is perhaps (as far as chemistry is concerned) one of the most simple of all of the thermo-chemical surface […]
The process of forming black iron oxide to ferrous metals and other types of materials is often called black oxide. The black oxide process is a chemical conversion coating for ferrous materials, stainless steel, copper and copper-based alloys, zinc, powdered metals, and silver solder. This process is done to add […]
Case hardening is a process of reinforcing the surface of some types of soft metal, making them more durable and tough. This process forms a thin layer of durable metal coating that allows the metal underneath to remain soft. One type of case hardening is carburization, which involves introducing steel […]
