Differences between Low and High Carbon Steel in Flame Hardening
16 September 2016Flame hardening operations extend the operating life of alloy-rich components by adding rigid strength to the microcrystalline backbone of the heat-treated part.
What is Metal Quenching and Its Advantages?
23 August 2016Heat treatment techniques use a two-step processing methodology. Logically, it begins with the workpiece entering a fiery environment, perhaps a gas-fired furnace. Here, the metal component is subjected to enough thermal energy to modify the metal's base properties.
Copper, Stainless, Bronze, Brass, or Aluminium: Why Annealing Matters?
12 August 2016Work hardened metals are difficult to form. The machining and shaping work has impacted the material in such a way as to cause the metal’s grain to compact and shrink.
Heat Treating of Spherical Radius Items
26 July 2016If we've placed a great deal of emphasis on materials, there's a good reason for this seemingly off-kilter approach. Materials must be heat treated if the mechanical and physical properties of a component are to comply with the rigorous requirements found in today's industrial applications.
Causes of Distortion and Residual Stresses in Heat Treatment
19 July 2016The principal objective of this discussion is to determine the causes of distortion and residual stresses in heat treatment.
