The art of spark testing seems to be forgotten.

Once again we write about training. I believe that training is fundamental to a new hire/new associate (unless he has already been trained).

Question:What is meant by the term “hardenability"? Answer:Hardenability is a term that is used to describe a given steel’s ability to harden. It does not mean “what hardness can be

Much has been written, discussed and debated about the values of the process of induction heat treatment.

The annealing of high-speed steels has been somewhat of a mystery as to how it should be accomplished.

Carbide-forming elements are an essential requirement for the steel to have the ability to harden and produce satisfactory hardness results as well as the required mechanical properties on either through- or case-hardening steel.

As we progress further into this time of industrial rethinking of how to conduct business more effectively and efficiently, with fewer staff there comes the problem of how to locate

What factors will influence microcracking in a carburized case?

The formed oxide surface is extremely hard to wet with the braze filler metal at the liquid temperature of the filler metal.

The success of brazing and the joint integrity will be dependent on the quality of prior surface preparation before brazing is completed.
