When specifying the hardness required on an engineering drawing for a nitrided component, the engineer producing the drawing should state...

Many engineering blueprints and drawings do not always state the surface metallurgy that is required for the functionality of an engineered component.

The following information provides comparisons between hot-wall and cold-wall plasma-ion-nitriding systems.

The grind crack may not be so obvious to see visually because it will usually occur at right angles to the direction of the grinding pass and at right angles to the surface of the gear tooth.

The subject of grinding cracks has arisen, and the question has been asked, “What is the cause of grinding cracks?”

The heat treatment of tool steels (and any other steel heat-treatment procedure) relies on a given set of metallurgical principles.

Electrical discharge machining has been utilized and accepted as a standard method of machining practice today.

It is known that steel is generally considered to be an alloy of iron plus carbon.

The steels can now be grouped into three very specific groups.
