727 oC and austenite which can dissolve 2.11 wt% C at 1148 oC. At the carbon-rich side we find cementite. Of less interest, except for highly alloyed steels, is the d-ferrite existing at the highest temperatures. Between the single-phase fields are found regions with mixtures of two phases, such as ferrite + cementite, austenite + cementite, and ferrite + austenite. At the highest temperatures, the liquid phase field can be found and below this are the two phase fields liquid + austenite, liquid +
Stainless steel, especially, Austenitic stainless steel, because of their high corrosion resistance and customizable mechanical properties has become an indispensable part of the regularly evolving modern day technology. Stainless steels of various grades find applications in numerous fields starting from the household to the nuclear reactors; from food and beverage cans to construction of different automobile parts. The formation of impervious oxide layer on the surface makes it suitable for use
Tips to Consider When Choosing the Best Spinning Reel What makes a spinning reel be termed as ultimately the best? Basically it must employ a unique design such that the ease of use is compelling while maintaining the levels of practicality all the same. This means that your spinning reel should have a sufficient line holding capability, a spinning capacity that is high speed and finally, should enable you to throw your line for a good distance. This concurrently gives you the edge to take part in
Study of Oxidation of Stainless Steel in Hot rolling Background Studies on the oxidation of stainless in hot rolling have obtained much attention during the last few decades where the finishing temperature ranges from 850-1100 °C. Oxidation is the formation of oxide rich scale that slows down further oxidation when formed. In stainless steels at elevated temperatures (up to 1100°C), this oxide scale is necessary as it is predominantly chromium rich and prevents further oxidation. On the other hand
As the name of this group of abrasive operations suggests, their objective is to achieve superior surface finish up to mirror-like finishing and very close dimensional precision. The finishing operations are assigned as the last operations in the single part production cycle usually after the conventional or abrasive machining operations, but also after net shape processes such as powder metallurgy, cold flashless forging, etc. The finishing processes discussed in this section include honing, lapping
tempering. After tempering, the toughness is increased and the brittleness is reduced, then it will have broad use throughout engineering field. Their principal use is to render the part fit for final use. In summary, the rate of cooling from the austenite phase is the main determinant of final structure and properties. To look it in a simple way, annealing is softening while tempering is hardening.
Component of nitinol shape change Nitinol's strange properties are gotten from a reversible strong state stage change known as a martensitic change. At high temperatures, nitinol expect an interpenetrating basic cubic structure alluded to as austenite
2.3 Cogne grade 329HT Cogne grade 329HT (steel grade: 1.4462) is a type of duplex stainless steel. It contain higher content in molybdenum than other steel. The advantages of 1.4462 is high yield and tensile stress. It is able to endure corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. The cost is also higher than other as grade1.4436 and 1.4301. Due to its outstanding properties, it is always used in many construction and industrial aspects that location in seawater. For example, the offshore drilling
the beneficial properties of ferritic and austenitic steels. First duplex steel grades had a great performance characteristics as well as limitations. The metallurgical processes at that time were not suitable for producing grades with the right austenite-ferrite balance. These early duplex steels were also high in carbon content because of the unavailability of efficient decarburization techniques. Because of these limitations the products using this materials were limited to specific applications
tempering is as follows 1. To relieve the internal stresses developed due to rapid cooling of steels after hardening process and due to volume changes occurring in the austenite to martensite transformation, to reduce brittleness, 2. To reduce hardness and to increase ductility and toughness, 3. To eliminate retained austenite [7]. Table No-1 working condition of HT Sr. No. Normal Load FN (Kg, N) Velocity V

In response to the weakness of ferro casting, British Case Iron Research Association in 1948 mixed the alloying cerium, nickel and other alloying elements to cast iron, thus resulting in nodular cast iron. Since then, a number of testing on iron cast emerges in order to result in a better quality, one of which is by adding magnesium to cast iron. Based on the result of the metallographic testing, the addition of the magnesium to the cast iron could result in nodular graphite. It is found that the
produce a softer than normal metal after quenching process. Effects of quenching on the structure of parental material: When carbon steel is heated above the critical temperature, the carbon diffuses into steel to form a uniform structure called Austenite. When quenching process is done the structure changes into Martensite. From the begin of process to the end we can find that there is a complete change in the structure from Face centered cubic structure (FCC) to Body centered tetragonal (BCT) structure

Barbara proved the point that it only takes one person to be a voice for the people, even against the most powerful issues she faced. She was not only influential but also inspiring to most people that felt lucky to know her, or even the ones who had simply just heard of her all of her great achievements. Barbara Jordan fought and eventually prospered
At cold temperatures nitinols atoms can be arranged in a way which is called martensite, but when it is a higher temperature it will be a slightly different arrangement and is called austenite. Nitinol is an alloy of nickel and titanium. They can be used in engines and couplings in aerospace applications due to the useful properties such as it being a smart material (ability to return to its original shape when heated). Its corrosion
During EDM process, the discharged energy produces very high temperatures at the point of the spark, causing a minute part of the sample to melt and vaporizes. With each discharge, a crater was formed on the machined surface. It was observed from Figure 5.4 SEM micrographs that, EDM surface produces irregular topography and defects included globules of debris, spherical particle, varying size craters and micro-cracks [29]. The surface topography was altered owing to significant electrical parameters
Welding is a process used to join metal parts by producing a coalescence, called a weld, at a joint. Advances in welding technology have opened the way for innovative designs in structures and machinery. Of modern welding processes, the greatest number fall under the general classifications of arc welding, gas welding and cutting, resistance welding, and brazing. Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is one of the arc welding methods. This method is suitable for many kinds of metals, but especially
