Measuring the plastic strain ratio of sheet metals: A useful tool for evaluating material 

Determining how much a metal can deform before thinning or fracture occurs is necessary for designing a reproducible forming operation. Testing the incoming sheet material is also essential because material properties may vary from coil to coil and affect the part quality and scrap rate. Understandi...

Considering thermal processes for dissimilar metals: Joining steel to aluminum in heat-intensive applications 

Knowing how to weld dissimilar metals is becoming more and more important. One reason is that it’s often impossible for one material to provide the optimum chemical, physical, and mechanical characteristics needed for an application. For this reason, as well as cost efficiency, technology spec...

Phases, structures, and the influences of temperature 

When you heat or cool a piece of metal to a specific temperature, that metal goes through what’s called a phase change, in which its crystal structure changes. Sometimes the change is obvious. For example, when a piece of metal melts, it goes through a phase change when the crystal structure breaks ...

The structure of metal 

Let's start with the obvious: Molten metals have no particular structure. The atoms that make up that metal are just whipping around helter-skelter—at a high rate of speed—with no real orderly, defined pattern.

It's all about why 5 Star Article 

Talk about a can of worms ... From crystalline structures to phase diagrams and interstitial solutions, from microstructures to allotropic transformations, it sometimes seems that for every question metallurgy can answer, for every problem it can solve, it creates two more.
