As an example of the importance of differentiating between strength and stiffness, consider the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Car manufacturers are meeting CAFE requirements by using lighter-weight, higher-strength steel components that provide improved fuel economy. These new steel gr...
Although XRF, in the handheld pistol form, is the fastest and most convenient of the three technologies it has a drawback in that it is not capable of measuring carbon. Until the new handheld LIBS came along recently, testing of carbon in the field required OES analyzers which doubled or ...
Martensitic or semi-austenitic steels are the strongest due to the addition of elements such as aluminum, copper and niobium. As an example of the importance of differentiating between strength and stiffness, consider the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Car manufacturers are meeting ...
