21 Chemical Elements and Effects on Steel Mechanical Properties
If you are in steel industry, have you ever notice what all those chemical composition listed on a steel materials test report really mean? Here we list 21 chemical elements which effect steel properties. You can check for details of each chemical elements and effects on steel materials mechanical properties.
What Is Tool Steel ? (Six Groups With Details)
There are Six groups of tool steel: water-hardening, cold-work tool steel, shock-resisting, high-speed, hot-work tool steel, and special purpose/plastic mold tool steel. The choice of group to select depends on, cost, working temperature, required surface hardness, strength, shock resistance, and toughness requirements.
Steel Forming Process: Hot Rolled, Cold Rolled, Forging & Casting
When choosing a steel materials for a job, it is important to know the difference between the different types of steel grades, steel process available, how it is used and the advantages of including it in your industrial or construction project. This post will explain the differences between hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, forged steel and cast steel, discuss the advantages and applications of each.
What’s AISI, ASTM, DIN, BS, ANSI, JIS, AFNOR AS and ASME Standards ?
There are so many different standards institutes and organizations worldwide. Every country will have their own standards system by national organization or sectors. We list 9 common international known standards institutes and organizations, AISI, ASTM, DIN, BS, ANSI, JIS, AFNOR and AS, which are widely used worldwide.
SAE/AISI Carbon & Alloy Steel Name System
You may also don't know SAE and AISI different steel grades and names. This post will solve some confusion and you will know what's the difference and how to check SAE and AISI steel grades.
Hot Work Steel Comparison: H13 vs 1.2344 vs SKD61
You can check the compare in three common hot works tool steel, H13 vs 1.2344 vs SKD61. I compare the chemical composition, hardness, different standard scope and applications. All those three hot work tool steel are widely used in worldwide and you can even regard them equal to each other, although there are small difference in chemical and properties.
