Cyaniding
Materials science; Metallurgy
In this process,the parts to be heat treated are immersed in a liquid bath at 800 to 960 degree of NaCN with the concentration varying between 25 and 90 percent.
Carbonitriding
Materials science; Metallurgy
This process is specifically used for improving wear resistance of mild,plain carbon or very low alloy steels.Carbonitriding is carried out at low temperatures in the range 800 to ...
Nitriding
Materials science; Metallurgy
Nitriding is most effective for those alloy steels which contain stable nitride forming elements such as aluminum,chromium,molybdenum,vanadium and tungsten.Nitriding is carried ...
Bronizing
Materials science; Metallurgy
Bronizing is one of the recent methods of surface hardening,which may be applied to any ferrous material but is generally adopted for carbon steel and tool steel.
Chromizing
Materials science; Metallurgy
Chromizing is also used for surface hardening of both carbon and tool steels.The components to be chromized are packed with fine chromium powder and additives.
Wrought Steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
Wrought steels are shaped by plastic deformation(mechanical working).View examples of the ornamental wrought iron railings, fences, gates, spiral staircases .This name of steel is ...
Cast Steels
Materials science; Metallurgy
Steels shaped by casting method are known as cast steels.Mechanical properties of cast product are inferior as compared to wrought product of same steel.Two important ...
