World Auto Steel has published an interesting (if you weld on cars and I found it interesting and I don't) on hardening steel ...

PVA fiber is a synthetic polymer identified by high hydrophilicity, moderate modulus of flexibility, and strong interfacial ...

What do you get when forge welding a half wrench with a piece of 1070 high carbon steel? A wrench knife! This project ...

Forging rivet tools from scrap ball bearings, springs, and railroad track steel. This project involves creating blacksmith dome head rivets, which proved to be more challenging than expected ...

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) remains a critical scientific challenge in building reliable infrastructure for a carbon-free hydrogen economy. Predictive models for hydrogen-induced material failure are ...

Besides carburizing, flame hardening is another common technique for developing a harder surface layer on metals. Flame hardened surfaces are harder, more wear resistant and less likely to deform.

A kind of medium-carbon low-alloy dual-phase steels with high-content martensite produced by intercritical annealing at 785-830 ºC for 10-50 minutes were studied in aspect of microstructures and work ...

However, the Hadfield steel liner often has poor wear resistance performance because the impact energy is not high enough to cause the working hardening. Furthermore, excellent impact toughness often ...
