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 […]
What are the different Non-Ferrous Metals?
The metal which is consisting of the main constituent other than the iron is known as Non-ferrous metals. For example aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium and zinc. 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 […]
