I recently read your blog about isothermal solidification (ITS). I want to be sure I understand how it relates to ordinary furnace brazing with the BNi-2 nickel filler metal we use, where the time at temperature is limited to only 10 minutes.

The Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision entitled “Peter v. Nantkwest, Inc.,” held that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) cannot recover an award for attorney’s fees at the end of certain types of patent appeals on Dec. 11, 2019.

This series on trends and developments in heat-treatment technology concludes.

We continue to review important materials in heat treatment and metallurgy.  

Figures 1 and 2 show cylindrical parts that were apparently intact prior to hardening heat treatment (austenitize, quench and temper).

We continue to review some of the most important materials in heat treatment and metallurgy.

What scientific fields help the failure analyst understand the situations they investigate?

The advent of plasma processing technology for surface treatments resulted in many new opportunities for developing treatment processes.
