Annealing vs. Quenching
If you’re in the process of developing metal products, parts or components, it’s important to understand as much as possible about a variety of metal treatment processes, including annealing and quenching. If you’re unsure about some of the specifics of how these processes work or which applications they are most suitable for, it’s a good […]
A Metallurgy Definition and Overview
Metallurgy is the study of the physical and chemical properties and behaviors of metals and metallic elements. The principles of metallurgy have been used for thousands of years as core components of welding and metalworking, and of course, both our understanding of the field and the technologies used for these processes in Gastonia, NC have […]
Why You Should Use Wheelabrating
One of the most important parts of metal fabrication is preparing pieces to obtain a high-quality finish. Usually if there are problems with getting proper adherence of the paint or finish to the substrate, this is because there was improper surface preparation, or a complete lack of such preparation. Processes like shot blasting in Gastonia, […]
Why Do We Use Precipitation Hardening?
Precipitation hardening in Gastonia, NC uses precipitates to strengthen metals. A process of solutionizing, quenching and aging is used for this hardening. What is the point of this heat treatment in Gastonia, NC? It offers several benefits: Strength: The precipitation process gives high strength to the metal that undergoes this treatment. A metal that would […]
