What Is M42 Tool Steel?   Introduction Molybdenum high-speed steels and tungsten high-speed steels are two types of high-speed tool steels. Molybdenum high-speed steels, also known as group M steels, comprise less initial cost. Molybdenum steel types M1 to M10 have tungsten whereas cobalt is not found

What Is M35 Tool Steel?   Introduction Molybdenum high-speed steels are designated as Group M steels according to the AISI classification system. Over 95% of high-speed steels manufactured in the US are group M steels. Tungsten is present in all types from M1 to M10, except M6,

Titanium vs. Stainless Steel, what is the Difference?   Stainless steel and titanium are traditional metals that are used very often in the manufacturing sector. Both the traditional metals have a unique set of strength and properties and are exquisite in their characteristics. You need to have

Heat-Resistant Stainless Steels – Production, Alloys, Characteristics One defines heat-resistant stainless steels as alloys that are used in temperatures between 500 and 1150 degrees Celsius. In technical language, they are also called heat- and creep resistant. Chemical composition of heat-resistant steels Viewing the microstructure respectively the chemical analysis the heat-resistant

What Is Basic Oxygen Steelmaking? Steel is one of the world’s most important materials. Consisting of iron and carbon, it’s an alloy that’s used to make everything from screws and bolts to bridges, buildings, vehicles, engines and more. While there are different techniques used to produce steel,

Common Types of Nickel Alloys Nickel will alloy easily with most metals such as copper, chromium, iron, and molybdenum. The addition of nickel to other metals alters the properties of the resulting alloy and can be used to produce desired characteristics such as improved corrosion or oxidation

Different Types of Stainless Steel When people use the term “stainless steel,” they often use it as a “catchall” term, but in reality, there are several different types of stainless steel with a variety of uses. Stainless steel is an alloy that is produced by combining a variety of

What are Different Types of Heat Treatment Process?   What is the heat treatment process? Heat treatment of a metal involves a group of thermal, industrial, or metalworking processes followed to alter the physical and sometimes chemical properties of metal to harden or smoothen, its shape to
