Metallurgy

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 such tools), for ...

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.

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 degree of accuracy to ...

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, its surface hardness ...

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 austenizing temperature to ...

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 steels.
