LECO’s combustion and fusion analyzers determine carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen levels in steel, critical for quality and structural integrity.
Oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen are critical quality metrics in steel and nickel- and cobalt-based alloys, directly influencing strength, ductility, porosity, and embrittlement. Explore the principles of simultaneous ONH determination using the LEC...
Many steel components can benefit from surface hardening, which improves wear resistance while maintaining a part’s toughness. Surface hardening can be accomplished by nitriding, induction hardening, or even shot peening; but carburizing remains t...
Aluminum-coated steel products have the benefits of enhanced corrosion resistance, bright metallic appearance, high heat reflectivity and electrical conductivity while retaining the formability of uncoated steel.
Phosphate coating is the treatment of steel with a dilute solution of phosphoric acid and other chemicals in which the surface of the metal is converted to an integral, mildly protective layer of insoluble crystalline phosphate.
This method describes how to selectively stain delta ferrite in martensitic stainless steels using a 20% NaOH electrolytic etch. The technique improves contrast for accurate quantitative image analysis and volume fraction measurement in alloys suc...
Accurate determination of ultra-low sulfur levels in steel, nickel, and other super alloys is important for quality control of high-temperature applications.
