Metals, both ferrous or non-ferrous, can be cast into the finished part or cast into an intermediate form like an ingot before being extruded, forged, rolled, wrought or worked into the desired shape. The reaction to non-ferrous metals to these processes is more severe than with ferrous mat...

Hot forging requires the metal to be heated above its recrystallization temperature. This can mean heating metals up to 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. The main benefit of hot forging is the decrease in energy required to form the metal properly. This is because excessive heat decreases yield strength ...
Greg might best be served with a reference to theASM Metals Handbook, but that 24-volume set might leave Todd with no starting point at all :-) Todd, I think what you might consider is that steel can be relatively soft (even though a soft steel is harder than a hard wood or hard ...
Multiple materials can be used in additive manufacturing: plastics, metals, concrete, ceramics, paper and certain edibles (e.g. chocolate). Materials are often produced in wire feedstock a.k.a. filament, powder form or liquid resin. Learn more about materials on our materials category....
1It increases the toughness of the material.2 It increases the ductility of the metal. 3 It increases the machinability of metal. 4 It helps to enhance the magnetic property of metals. Where is annealed steel used? Annealing may also be used to release mechanical stresses induced by grinding...
Approximately 80% of heat treated metals are different grades of steel. Cast iron, stainless steel, and various grades of tool steel are all ferrous metals that can be heat treated. Ferrous metals are commonly subjected to processes such as hardening, annealing, normalizing, stress relieving, case...
When these metals are cold worked, permanent defects change their crystalline makeup. These defects reduce the ability of crystals to move within the metal structure and the metal becomes more resistant to further deformation. The resulting metal product has improved tensile strength and hardness, but...
It’s true that Damascus steel can rust. However, this type of material is more resistant to attacks by corrosion-causing agents than other types of metals that are typically found in everyday objects like pots and pans or knives for instance!
