Different heat treatment processes are being conducted when working with steels and other types of metals due to numerous reasons. One of the key reasons why these materials undergo the said processes is to improve their overall strength and hardness. These processes can also provide them resistance to elements, particularly […]
Heat treatment is a process of heating or chilling a specific material, usually a metal, at a certain temperature. This process enables the metal to undergo significant changes when it comes to its mechanical properties and overall microstructure. There are several types of heat treatment techniques that can be done […]
Non-ferrous metals are metals that are not comprised of iron content, which gives them significant resistance to corrosion and rust that can be very useful for outdoor applications. They are also non-magnetic, allowing them to be used for electronic applications. One metal that is part of the non-ferrous metal family […]
Standard nitriding process is a type of heat treating process that is being utilised by many manufacturers. This process is done through the introduction of nitrogen into the surface of a metal, allowing it to obtain a case-hardened surface. The case-hardened surface of a metal part becomes possible as it […]
One material that is being maximised by numerous industries is steel. It is an alloy of iron that is typically comprised of a few per cent of carbon which can modify its general properties and composition. But generally, this specific material is durable enough to sustain damages from surrounding elements. […]
