    Summary Heat treatment is the process of heating or chilling, to an extreme temperature to achieve a desired shape through the hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment of aluminum and copper undergoes almost the same heat-treating process. but their result is different. The methods of annealing, homogenizing, and solution heat treatment on copper…

    Summary Heat treatment of metals is a controlled process that changes the microstructure of metals and alloys like steel and aluminum to impart properties that improve a component’s working life, such as increased surface hardness, temperature resistance, ductility, and strength. When attempting to change the properties of metals, the first factor to consider is heat…

    Non-ferrous metals are metals or alloys that do not have an appreciable amount of iron in them and they are of different types. These metals are special due to their properties which include malleability, non-magnetic, high conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and low weight. Even though almost all these types of non-ferrous metals are more costly…

    The two types of metals ever known are ferrous and nonferrous metals with vast differences and few similarities. They have different qualities, properties, and uses due to what they are made of. Nonferrous metals don’t contain iron whilst ferrous contain iron in them. Ferrous metals have iron as their primary element such as steel cast…
