Carbon steels contain only carbon as the principal alloying element. Other elements are present in small quantities, including those added for deoxidation. Silicon and manganese ...
Nondestructive material testing with ultrasonic equipment is more than 40 years old. From the very first examinations, using ultrasonic oscillations for detection of flaws in different materials, it has ...
Welding, which is one of the newer metalworking trades, can trace its historic development back to ancient times ...
Malleable cast iron is a heat-treated iron-carbon alloy, which solidifies in the as-cast condition with a graphite-free structure, i.e. the total carbon content is present in the cementite form (Fe3C) ...
Holographic interferometry can be used to produce a fringe pattern, which represents the field of surface displacement of an opaque object in response to some change in mechanical loading ...
Introduction The development of modern continuous sheet galvanizing lines has led to the disappearance of most of the old manual mills for galvanizing cut sheets. There are however still some...
Effect of Irradiation on Mechanical Properties The effect of irradiation on the tensile behavior of the 7鈥�12% Cr ferritic/martensitic steels depends on temperature. Hardening, as measured by an increase in yield stress and...
When a material is exposed to irradiation, every property of the material may change including physical dimensions as well as mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical and some other properties...
Microstructures and Properties of Pearlitic Rail Steels Pearlite is an important feature of the microstructure because it possesses good wear resistance, hence making carbon an essential alloying element in rail steels. However...
Introduction Marine applications are very demanding. Stainless steel is the ideal material for marine applications due to the fact that it resists rust better than other materials such as brass, bronze...
