The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

Alternative higher strength steels can be developed by post-forming heat treatment. Retaining the geometry of components during and subsequent to the heat treatment process is a key barrier for the ...

A lot of colloquial words that we might use when describing something’s durability take on extremely specific meanings when a materials scientist or blacksmith uses them. Things like “strength”, ...
