Carbide
Materials science; Metallurgy
A common cutting tool material that is used to make both index able inserts and solid cutting tools. They provide a cutting edge that is very hard and wear resistant.
Boring
Materials science; Metallurgy
In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast), by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several ...
Threading
Materials science; Metallurgy
The process of cutting a long, spiraling groove into a workpiece with a single-point tool. Threading processes are essential for the creation of fasteners.
Reaming
Materials science; Metallurgy
A reamer is a type of rotary cutting tool used in metalworking. Precision reamers are designed to enlarge the size of a previously formed hole by a small amount but with a high ...
Low Carbon Steel
Materials science; Metallurgy
Composition of 0.05%-0.25% carbon and up to 0.4% manganese. Also known as mild steel, it is a low cost material that is easy to shape. While not as hard as higher-carbon steels, ...
Patenting
Materials science; Metallurgy
The special heat treatment given to medium carbon,high carbon and low alloy steels wire rod is called patenting.The process consists of heating the material well above the ...
Carburizing
Materials science; Metallurgy
This is the most widely used process for surface hardening of steels.It is carried out on low carbon steel which contain from 0.01 to 0.25 percent carbon and known as carburizing ...
