First of all, we have to understand […]
What are the different Non-Metallic Materials?
In material science, materials are classified into four groups Metals, Non-metals, Ceramics, Composites. In this article, we are going to discuss Non-Metallic Materials. The Non-Metallic materials are used in engineering due to their less density and flexibility, resistance to electricity, heat and most importantly it is available at low costs. Non-Metallic Materials Before going into the topic it […]

We have discussed the characteristics of the different Non-ferrous metals and the purpose and use of the non-ferrous metal in different applications in this article. Non-Ferrous Metals Having lightweight, high conductivity, corrosion resistance […]
What are the different Case Hardening processes?
Case Hardening is also known as Surface Hardening. Sometimes also are known as the Face Hardening. The process of hardening the surface of the components is known as the Case Hardening. There are different types of Case hardening processes available. We have discussed each of them here! Case Hardening / Surface Hardening The process of Hardening […]
What are the different Heat Treatment processes?
In material science, the Heat treatment processes used to impart the physical properties by altering the microstructure. We have discussed the purpose of the heat treatment and the different heat treatment processes briefly. Heat Treatment Heat Treatment includes the heating and cooling of the metal to obtain the desired mechanical properties without changing the chemical […]
Stainless Steel – Types, Properties Applications, Grades
We all know Stainless steel is notable for its corrosion resistance property. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium which will significantly improve the corrosion resistance property. Along with the chromium, there are few other alloy elements to make the stainless steel more strengthen and harden and tough and increase the few other […]
What are the different Carbon Steels and their Properties?
Steel is the alloy of iron and carbon. Steel consists of carbon content up to a maximum of 1.5%(Somewhere it will be mentioned as up to 2%). The other elements of steel are silicon, phosphorous, manganese, copper etc. will be having the more or fewer compositions to attain the desired properties. In this following article, we are going […]
What are the different Alloy Steels?
Steel is the alloy of iron and carbon. Other than these two elements we can add few other elements in order to get desired mechanical properties. those are known as the alloys of steel. These will be having the more or fewer compositions. The Alloy elements are silicon, chromium, manganese, copper etc. Purpose of Adding Alloying elements […]
What are the different types of Steels and their Properties?

What is Bending stress ? Bending stress in Curved Beams?
When a machine component is subjected to a load (Static or dynamic load), it will experience the bending along its length due to the stress induced in it. This stress is known as Bending stress. Besides, there are other types of stress are also induced. They are Tensile stress, Compressive stress, Shearing stress, Bearing stress, Torsional stress. In this case, we […]
What are the different types of beams with loads?
A beam is a long and a straight piece with a uniform cross-section characterised by the type of supports. These beams are used to support different type of loads. There are different types of beams are available along with the different applied loads. Let’s see each of them. Types of Beams Cantilever Beam Simply Supported […]
What is Bending stress ? Bending stress in Straight beams?
When a machine component is subjected to a load (Static or dynamic load), it will experience the bending along its length due to the stress induced in it. This stress is known as Bending stress. Besides, there are other types of stress are also induced. they are Tensile stress, Compressive stress, Shearing stress, Bearing stress, Torsional stress. In this […]
Torsion of Shafts in series and parallel | Composite Shafts
A composite shaft is a shaft made up of two different diameters. The composite shaft may experience twist when they subjected to the torque. This twist can be obtained in these composite shaft, be based on the torque applied position when the shafts in series and parallel. A composite shaft When a shaft is having […]
How to calculate the shaft diameter from the torque?
When a shaft is transmitting power from driver equipment to the driven equipment, It is necessary to calculate the shaft diameter from the torque based on the maximum torque that can be transferred through the shaft or the maximum amount of twist in the shaft. Otherwise, the shaft may not satisfy the functionality of the […]
What is Wrought Iron? What are the properties and applications?
Wrought iron is the pure iron which is having more than 99.5% of iron as the major constituent. The other typical compositions like carbon, silicon and sulphur are available in very fewer compositions. The different properties and the applications of wrought iron are discussed in this article. Wrought Iron Wrought iron is an iron alloy […]
What are the different Cast Iron Types?
Cast iron is a Ferrous metal which is having iron as the main constituent. All the ferrous metals are extracted from the Pig iron by re-melting the pig iron with coke and limestone in a furnace. There are different types of Cast Iron are available. In this article, we have discussed all the different cast iron types […]
What is Torsional stress? | Torsional Shear Stress
Torsional shear stress or Torsional stress is the shear stress produced in the shaft due to the twisting. This twisting in the shaft is caused by the couple acting on it. What is a couple? How can shear stress in the shaft be produced? Let’s get into the subject. Shear Stress in Shafts Twisting can be […]
What is Resilience, Proof Resilience, Modulus of Resilience?
Resilience is a capability of a material to absorb the energy. Briefly, the Strain energy stored in a body due to some external load is known as the Resilience where the body is within the elastic limit. Proof Resilience and Modulus of Resilience are discussed in this article. Resilience When a body subjected to external […]
