ENGINEERING CONCEPTS: Hydrogen Embrittlement of Copper

Dave VanAken
October 9, 2001
No Comments
Tough-pitch coppers and even oxygen-free coppers are subject to a loss of tensile ductility (embrittlement) when exposed to reducing atmospheres.

ENGINEERING CONCEPTS: PID Controllers

Dave VanAken
September 7, 2001
No Comments
Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is the most common strategy used for industrial processes.

ENGINEERING CONCEPTS: Transformation-Induced Residual Stresses

Dave VanAken
August 9, 2001
No Comments
Residual stress is an important consideration in the heat treatment of steel, and the development of a compressive residual stress often is considered a good goal because it is believed to improve the fatigue resistance of the heat-treated part.

ENGINEERING CONCEPTS: Grains That Grow, and Secondary Recrystallization

Dave VanAken
June 7, 2001
No Comments
Grain growth is a vague term used in the context of recrystallization, "normal" grain growth and secondary recrystallization.

Engineering Concepts: Segregation and Banding in Steel

Dave VanAken
April 3, 2001
No Comments
Most metals are classified as being either cast or wrought. This classification is somewhat misleading since even the wrought product is initially cast and therefore subject to chemical inhomogenieties during solidification...

ENGINEERING CONCEPTS: Relationship Between Hardness and Strength

Dave VanAken
March 7, 2001
One Comment
Hardness tests often are used to quantify strength and are considered to be nondestructive in most applications because the indentations are small and do not adversely affect surface quality.

Engineering Concepts: Laser Shock Processing

Dave VanAken
February 6, 2001
No Comments
In 1974, Battelle Laboratory (Columbus, OH) researchers patented (US1982000378975) a process to induce compressive residual stresses using shock waves generated by laser pulse . . .

Engineering Concepts: Strength of Tempered Martensite

Dave VanAken
January 10, 2001
No Comments
The yield strength of AISI 8620 steel can be made equivalent to that of AISI 1045 steel by choosing the appropriate tempering temperatures for each.

Engineering Concepts: The Error Function and Carburization

Dave VanAken
December 11, 2000
No Comments
Every student that has ever taken an introductory materials science course has most likely solved a diffusion problem involving the error function.

Engineering Concepts: Formation of Annealing Twins

Dave VanAken
November 10, 2000
No Comments
Annealing twins are a prominent feature observed in the metallography of face centered cubic (FCC) metals.
