The Use Of Heat Treatment To Change Metal Properties About 75 per cent of the periodic table consists of metals the others being gasses and chemicals. The table is expanding all the time with 15 metals added since the middle of the 20th Century and half a dozen in the pipeline waiting to be confirmed.The vast majority of these metals have to be fired to be extracted from the original ore. As we continue to discover more and more...more
Strengthening A Steel Sword With Heat Treatment All metals are derived from heat treating the source ore and in cases of alloys mixing with other metals. Generally the heat treating of finished steel is performed to harden the metal but other properties can be changed with heat.One of the most intriguing facts about the one thousand year old tradition of the making of Samurai swords is that those early sword smiths had no...more
Heat Treatment In The Manufacture Of All Metals One and a third billion tons of steel are produced every year in the world and for this reason alone it is hardly surprising that some of the world's richest people are steel moguls just as the others are mainly involved in oil, the internet and telecommunications.The importance to mankind of metals is reflected in the fact that we even call whole eras of history by metals. The Bronze Age followed the Stone Age and this in turn is followed by the Iron Age. The discovery of all the elements in the world covers a vast number of years and even today it is probable that there are still some more to be found. There are 118 recognised elementsand the metals are nearly all used in some way to benefit humankind with iron being the most abundant.Fire is the most important part of turning these metals from lumps of earth and rock into the finished article. Very few metals are pure enough straight fromground to even resemble the colour they will become after heat treatment and removal of impurities.Steel is produced in four or five main types depending upon the intended usages. It is highly flexible and can be as malleable as a...more
Irregular Menstruation Treatment and Stop Irregular Menstruation Problems Naturally Before we can describe an irregular period, we must first decide what a regular period is. People often say that a usual period occurs every 28 days, but in fact, every woman's menstrual cycle is different. Depending on your body and your hormones,...more
Changing The Strength Of Steel With Heat Treatment Depending upon the amount of heat and the rate of cooling it is possible to change the normal characteristics of steel and many other metals to stronger, harder and more malleable. Heat treatment is an important part of a degree course in metallurgy as the processes of change when...more
Changing Metal Properties With Heat Treatment Throughout history people have been creating things from different metals. Presumably the discovery of metal was an accident and probably caused inadvertently when a campfire burnt away some low melting point metal bearing ore and left the bewildered ancient with a crude metal lump.Most likely the first such metal would have been tin as this has the lowest melting point by far of all other common metals. At two hundred and thirty two degrees centigrade the core of the fire would not have to be particularly hot to extract tin unlike iron which needs one thousand five hundred and thirty degrees to melt.The melting point of metals vary a great amount and as the discovery of tin extraction became more and more understood and easier to achieve, the ancients of Mesopotamia and at the same time China, began looking for other metals. Tin was a useful metal but far too soft to create anything much more than plates, pots and ornaments. The next big step was the discovery of copper with tin deposits and this alloy we know of as bronze.With a melting point of just under one thousand degrees centigrade, bronze could be fashioned into...more
