Measuring Metal Strength : Tensile Strength and Impact Strength Tensile strength and impact strength are two of the most important factors to consider when choosing a metal for a particular project, particularly when it comes to structural applications. It’s critical to understand these mechanical properties and how

Turned, Ground and Polished: Meaning and Applications Metal shafts are used of Higher Speed applications which need a higher-level of precision. Premature wear on either the shaft or the bearing will occur if the shafts has a rough finish or lack concentricity and straightness. Steel shaft manufacturers

Difference between Annealing and Tempering The difference between annealing and tempering is determined by how it is treated. Tempering the metal entails heating it to a certain heat below a certain threshold and then cooling it at a very slow and regulated rate, while annealing involves heating

What Is the Difference Between a Round Bar, a Drill Rod, and a Shafting? Metals are made in different shapes and sizes. Pipe and tubes look similar but somewhat different properties and use. Round bar, drill rod, and shafting are also forms of round shapes.   Round

All you need to know about The Melting Points of Metals Metals have prestige for being able to survive harsh environments. Heavy loads, continuous cycling, major intensity, caustic conditions, and even extreme temperatures are all factors to consider. Furnaces, diesel motors, piston engines, spark nozzles, high-speed machines,

How does heating the metal affects its properties? Heat can affect the electrical, magnetic, and structural properties of metals. Since metal has a wide range of uses, various conditions emphasize different attributes. Toughness is required in industrial applications, whereas low electrical density is significant in electronic applications.

WELDING PROCESSES FOR STAINLESS STEEL Warped metal, charcoal-colored welds, and frustration; these are some of the things that can happen when welding stainless steel. While it contains similar elements to that of carbon steel, stainless steel has the addition of alloying elements such as chromium and molybdenum,

WHAT IS QUENCHING? Heat treatment is a popular way to alter the mechanical properties of certain metals. Being able to change the hardness, toughness, and strength of a metal while keeping its chemical composition intact and virtually unaltered is a great way to tailor a metal to

WHAT IS WHITE RUST? Galvanizing is a coating process that protects an underlying steel from rust using a protective layer of zinc. However, it is possible for this zinc to form its own kind of “rust”, known as white rust.   What Is White Rust? White rust

Alloying elements of special steels   The alloying constituents are generally divided unto carbide, austenite and ferrite forming elements. Furthermore, the purpose for which they are added to steel must be taken into consideration. According to its content, each alloying element imparts specific properties to steel. When
