Once melted, the mixture is moved to another furnace to burn off any impurities that they may have, as well as to make any other adjustments to the mild steel’s chemical composition. Following that, the steel is allowed to solidify into a rectangular shape. This slab of mild steel is ...

The chemical composition of 45 steel mainly includes carbon (C), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S) and silicon (Si). Among them, the carbon content is approximately between 0.42% and 0.50%. Its mechanical properties include tensile strength ≥600MPa,...
Carbon- This ingredient is essential to steel’s creation; all steel will have some amount of carbon. It is the most important hardening element, but as it is added it can reduce the toughness of the material. Carbon reduces the amount that the knife will wear over time. So, the amount ...
When two or more pure metals are combined, it often leads to changes in the mechanical properties of the resulting metal. The most common changes include an increase in strength and hardness. For example, steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. The addition of carbon makes steel much harder ...
1. Choosing a Powder Composition After talking with you about your performance requirements, your manufacturer will pick a powder composition that will yield the right results. The powder mix will include the basic stuff you need, such as iron, nickel, molybdenum and or copper. It will also in...
Crucible has been having a difficult time monetarily due to a slowdown in steel orders [1]. I don’t know all of the reasons for this decline in sales, so I won’t speculate too much. The company has several million dollars in debt which it is unable to pay. Sometime in 2024, the...
How Is CPM Steel Made? Steel is an alloy made from two or more different metals. These are melted together so that they form a homogenous molten bath. During a manufacturing process that involves particle metallurgy, we then pour the molten metal through a small nozzle. The liquid then strea...
What is AISI 303 306 steel? We often see labels like "food-grade 304 stainless steel" or "medical-grade 316 stainless steel" on the market. What do the numbers before stainless steel mean? Stainless steel is assigned different numbers based on metal composition and alloy ratios. The AISI304...
This composition allows for S35VN steel to be an incredibly hard, high quality steel offering superior dimensional stability, grindability, and toughness that together make this a top grade steel at the top of its class. What is the CPM process?
