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
