Energy-Saving Thermal Insulation: Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health Considerations Energy conservation is a bottom-line issue for furnace manufacturers and users alike. With the cost of energy (in constant dollars) at a 30-year high, reducing energy consumption through the effective use of thermal insulation can produce a rapid payback. Furthermore, reduced energy consumption is usually synonymous with reduced carbon emissions.

Hardness and Hardenability - Part Two: A Discussion on Hardenability and Hardenability Testing For the heat treater, the concept of hardenability is often more difficult to grasp than that of hardness. Part of the reason for this is that we seldom perform the tests that measure or predict this property in our shops. The reason why it is important to measure the hardenability of steel is to make sure that we are making the right material choice for a specific engineering application. With the supply of raw material coming from multiple worldwide sources, there is renewed emphasis on predicting how a material will respond to heat treating. Let’s learn more.

The Public, Politicians and Scientists As usual, we will cover too much material in one page. However, joining the two issues of U.S. energy policy distorted by politicians with public knowledge about what is going on makes a commanding and entertaining topic.
Problems Nitriding AISI 4140 Steel Using Gas Nitriding Question: We nitride AISI 4140 steel (bar stock) using the gas nitriding process, and we are experiencing problems of the nitride case exfoliating (peeling off). What is causing this?
