Vacuum technology in the process of carburizing has been shown to improve the manufacturing process in a variety of ways, including by reducing processing time and the total number of steps required in the process of manufacturing a part. Optimizing the case-depth uniformity of parts during the carburizing process is another way to achieve a […]
All refractory material must be extremely durable, capable of withstanding some extreme conditions and abuse while providing a consistent level of service. One of the most important factors in selecting refractory material is abrasion resistance. However, there are some pervasive misunderstandings of what exactly is meant by the term “abrasion,” both in terms of what […]
Metallurgical analysis is the study of metal parts, or metallic components in non-metal parts. Essentially, it describes the makeup of your parts or components and determines their eligibility for their intended use. This is because when a metal is heat-treated, its structure can change. Metallurgical analysis looks at the parts on a microscopic level to […]
Heat-treating metals to create stronger materials is a practice that goes back centuries. Today, we have a multitude of metallurgical processes to fine-tune metal for specific purposes, including annealing and case hardening in Gastonia, NC. Depending on what you’re hoping to treat, certain processes may be more suitable than others. You should consider what kind […]
The metal manufacturing industry includes a few key terms and processes. Case hardening in Gastonia, NC is one of these. If you’re not familiar with case-hardened steel, use the following FAQ to learn an overview of this industry staple. If your question isn’t on the list, feel free to reach out to the experts at […]
