One Minute Mentor: Microalloyed steels for direct heat treatment technology
The thermal energy of forged components can be effectively used to achieve microstructure with mechanical properties equal to or better than those achievable with traditional reheat quenching and tempering, annealing, and normalizing processes.
Atomic force microscope and ammeter together enable topography mapping at Park Systems
Engineers from Park Systems, Santa Clara, Calif., demonstrated how an atomic force microscope, when combined with an ammeter, can provide concurrent topography imaging and electrochemical mapping of a structure, at the ASM International MS&T 2019 Conference in Portland, Oregon.
New method simplifies calculation of precise location of cracks on complex shapes
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign announce that they have developed a new calculation method that enables them to pinpoint the exact location and direction of a critical crack in a structure with a single analysis.
