Heat treatment is the process of heating and cooling metals, using specific predetermined methods to obtain desired properties.
Shell moulding is a process for producing simple or complex near net shape castings, maintaining tight tolerances and a high degree of dimensional stability.
The role of silicon in cast iron is multifaceted.
Gas porosity, shrinkage, mold material, pouring metal, metallurgical, and casting shape defects.
Cast irons are high carbon materials, (relative to steels) with typically 2 to 4% carbon.
Forging changes a metal workpiece through compression at either cold, warm, or hot temperatures.
