WHAT IS TEMPERING?
WHAT IS TEMPERING? Tempering is a heat treatment process that alters the mechanical properties (typically ductility and hardness) and relieves internal stresses of a steel. Tempering allows carbon trapped in a martensitic microstructure to disperse,
WHAT IS METAL FATIGUE?
WHAT IS METAL FATIGUE? Metal fatigue is one of the subtlest types of metal failures, and one of the most dangerous. Although metal failure can occur from excessive tensile loads, shear loads and impact loads,
WHAT IS ANNEALING?
WHAT IS ANNEALING? While the chemical composition of a metal determines much of the mechanical properties, many metals can have their mechanical properties altered through heat treatment. There are many different types of heat treatment
