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

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

We continue our discussion from late last year with our review of some of the most important materials in heat treatment and metallurgy.

We continue our discussion of the metric system and SI units.

Metric units are becoming more common in the heat-treatment industry.

Having reviewed various types of chemical bonds (part 1) and how they affect the properties of materials, we now focus on hydrogen bonds, which are important in nature, and metallic bonds, which give metals their unique properties.

Understanding chemical bonds and how they affect the properties of materials is an important part of material science and heat treatment.

As mentioned in our previous blog, density is the relation of an object’s mass and volume, not its weight and volume.

Density (mass per unit volume) is not a fundamental property of nature but a so-called derived unit, which is a quantity that cannot be measured directly with any device (i.e., common lab instrument).

We continue the examination of important elements in heat treatment and metallurgy. This time our focus is on nickel.
