Nitriding Process and Its Purpose
29 April 2016
In adding chemistry to heat, we gain a powerful partnership, a fine means of blending two contrasting metal treatment techniques. Heat, obviously, changes the mechanical characteristics of a processed metal. On the other hand, chemical solutions support and even enhance thermal treatment cycles by providing a secondary transformative pathway. The nitriding process is an eloquent example of process-blending alchemy, an instance where surface hardening pairs chemical compounds with heat to surface harden steel parts.

What is Black Oxide Coating?
20 April 2016
Oxidation is a chemical reaction that takes place between oxygen molecules and the floating ring of electrons that orbit another element. Rusting iron is an out of control example of oxidation, a reaction that weakens the mechanical strength of the metal, and will actually see the material waste away unless it's treated or coated in a special finish.

Vacuum Furnaces for Vacuum Heat Treatment
31 March 2016
A capacity for uniformly distributing heat is a headlining feature for industrial-grade furnaces. A series of highly consistent geometrical profiles are set to enter this thermally active chamber. They roll into the furnace for carefully timed heating and cooling procedures, exiting after passing through a quenching stage. Critical furnace parameters must be observed, but they're difficult to maintain when pollutants are abroad.

Advantages of Induction Hardening and Tempering in Metals
21 March 2016
A number of contrasting heat treatment processes exist. They use atmospheric ovens and special electric blowers to uniformly heat a metal part and optimize targeted mechanical characteristics.

The Processes of Metal Heat Treatment
29 February 2016
A process whereby an unrefined metal product is taken through a range of intelligently managed heating and cooling stages. Each processing step modifies specific characteristics, removing stresses from the metal. Machinability is improved, as is mechanical strength and other key metallurgical attributes.
