Heat Treatment of Aluminum and Aluminum alloys
by
in MetalworkSince there are different applications made with aluminum, meeting the requirement of the items will make aluminum undergo heat treatment. heat treatment will change the properties of aluminum in certain ways to meet a desired characteristic. In one of my previous articles, I extensively discuss on heat treatment of ferrous and nonferrous metals, their processes…
Understanding the heat treatment of metals
Heat treatment is the first consideration to be made when trying to change the properties of metals. This is a mechanical process that involves heating metal at a specific temperature with a standard cooling method to obtain the desired properties. Today you’ll get to learn about the heat treatment of metals and the theory behind…
Different Types of Nonferrous Metals and their Uses
by
in MetalworkNonferrous 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 nonferrous metals are more costly…
Difference Between Nonferrous and Ferrous metals
by
in MetalworkThe two types of metals ever known are ferrous and nonferrous metals with a 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. In this article, you’ll get to know the difference between ferrous…
