Imagine a camera so powerful it could take freeze-frame photographs of a moving electron—an object traveling so fast it could circle the Earth many times in a matter of a second. Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed the world’s fastest electron microscope that can do just that.
This video from James Sword Research details the various stages of heat treatment including recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth stage.
Size distortion in ledeburitic cold-work tool steels is always higher in longitudinal direction (the direction of main deformation, which is the direction of the elongated carbide stringers). The figure shows the effect in three different cases. If plates for cutting tools made from ledeburitic cold-work tool steels are taken from small bar materials in the […]
Solar Atmospheres, Chesterfield, MI, announced significant progress on the 20,000-square-foot expansion of its Michigan facility. The Delta Industrial team quickly erected the steel structure in just one week. The new expansion will accommodate additional vacuum and air furnaces and provide a dedicated shipping and receiving area. The project remains on schedule for completion by the […]
Nitrex, based in Quebec, announced the installation of a new nitriding/nitrocarburizing system at Volkan Steels (V’Steels), a prominent tool steels supplier in Istanbul, Turkey. The new system, model NX-1015, has a 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) capacity, enhancing V’Steels’ ability to provide value-added heat treatment services to its customers. This advanced Nitrex system supports nitriding, nitrocarburizing, […]
