The water hardening types of tool steel are covered by AS1239 ‘W’ grades and these are shallow hardening. These steels contain around 1% carbon and may have small additions of vanadium for grain ...

During the production of a metal, the manufacturing process is marked by careful regulation of the mechanical properties of the wrought metal. However, these may undergo change later on when the ...

Russian state corporation Rosatom says that for the first time it has used its own technology for laser strengthening of steel in the manufacturing of rotor parts of turbine pumps for nuclear power ...

When designing metal parts, it's important to specify their hardness. However, many engineers have only a shaky understanding of what hardness actually is, or how it's measured. There are good reasons ...

ATOM Media 31 January 2024 11:54 Specialists of NPO TSNIITMASH (part of the engineering division of Rosatom) have developed and patented a new method for obtaining a wear-resistant coating of the ...

AISI 1020 has low hardenability properties and is a low tensile carbon steel with a Brinell hardness of 119 – 235, and a tensile strength of 410-790 MPa. It has high machinability, high strength, high ...

AT the May meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute two papers were read and discussed dealing with the theory of the hardening of steel; they gave rise to one of the most interesting discussions of ...

The condition and physical properties of the work material have a direct influence on the machinability of a work material. The various conditions and characteristics described as "condition of work ...
