Hi,
The range of chemical composition of steel or an alloy has always been stipulated. But, on what basis the RANGE of chemical composition was defined?
I have a Cr-Mn Forged Steel Shaft, where its Chromium (0.9 to 1.5wt%) and Molybdenum (0.15 to 0.3wt%) contents are marginally higher than...
Can anyone please advise whether an automotive part can be casted with PURE zinc (~99.3%)?
From what I know, the typical zinc alloy for casting is ZA alloys and ZAMAK alloys, which contain appreciable amount of aluminium.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I have prepared an etched martensitic stainless steel and it appears differently from what is expected. This stainless steel was not used in high temperature application.
I have done some research and the microstructure observed could be a highly tempered martensite or annealed...
Dear all
I am taking part in maintenance of a bucket elevator (vertical)in a cement mill. The conveyor consisted of a thick rubber with steel cords/wires encapsulated within. The strength of the belt largely derive from the steel cords/wires. I have been told by the supplier that we have to...
I had drilled a bolt hole of 8mm diameter into a solid steel that was so close to the edge (around 2mm to the edge) of the steel. After sometime, the steel had fractured across the bolt hole. Does anyone know a rule of thumb of placing a center of a bolt hole from the edge of steel? Is there...
