Tool steels are a sub-group of alloy steels. The article discusses the production methods, different grades and applications.| Fractory
Normalising involves heating metals to a set temperature, holding them there for a certain time and then air-cooling back to room temperature| Fractory
Case hardening is a heat treatment process through which the surface of a metal is hardened while maintaining a softer core at the same time.| Fractory
Carburising is a heat treatment process that improves mechanical properties such as hardness by adding carbon to a metal’s surface.| Fractory
Mild steel is a synonym for low-carbon steel. Its low price and great properties make mild steel the most common metal around.| Fractory
Tempering is a heat treatment process in which ferrous alloys are heated to a set point below its lower critical temperature. Tempering increases toughness, reduces brittleness and alters many other mechanical properties of metals.| Fractory
Heat treatment allows to change the properties of metal by manipulating it with heating and cooling. Learn more about the different methods.| Fractory
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are two large groups in materials science. We provide a ferrous metals list along with examples of non-ferrous metals.| Fractory
Precipitation hardening or age hardening is a heat treatment process that increases the strength of most structural alloys of aluminium, magnesium, nickel, titanium, and some carbon and stainless steels.| Fractory
