I am very sorry for the delay in answering your question. I receive a lot of questions related to the selection of the right stainless steel for the application of interest especially about the differences
Carbides are compounds formed as a result of combination of carbon with other elements. In ferrous alloys, whether cast or wrought, formation of iron carbide Fe3C is very common. In the case of alloyed
The strain-induced martensitic transformation (austenite to martensite transformation as a result of cold deformation) can be avoided if the Md30 temperature is far below the room temperature. For your
Sorry I pressed the wrong button and sent you a message that I did not mean a few hours ago. I do not have access to the AMS specification applicable to 17-4PH but I do have the one for the 15-5PH which
Parts of the following answer are extracted from the 4th Volume of ASM Metals Handbook entitled Heat Treating. Fixtures made of heat-resistant alloys are used in industrial heat-treating furnaces that
