The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel, is a malleable, iron-based metal containing carbon, small amounts of manganese, and other elements that are inherently present. Steels can either be cast ...

Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon ...

Superheroes squeeze a lump of coal and turn it into a sparkling diamond - in comic books, anyway. There is some scientific validity to this fictional feat. Coal and diamonds are both composed of ...

Heat treatment of an alloy or metal primarily involves controlled heating and cooling operations that are performed to alter the microstructure of the alloy/metal to realize desired mechanical ...
