Plasma Nitriding of Steels: Part One

Plasma nitriding improves the wear resistance of a material by effectively altering the surface microstructure while maintaining adequate substrate properties.

Electro-Slag Welding (ESW) of Steels: Part Two

As with all welding techniques the success relates to the control of the numerous variables of the process and with ESW it is no different in that controlling the mass-transfer coefficient can drive a successful operation.

Dispersion Strengthened Copper (DSC) Alloys: Part One

Dispersion strengthening of any material is done with the aim to create a composite of superior physical properties via the dispersion of oxide particles in the metallic matrix.

Hardfacing Non-Ferrous Alloys

The prime function of Hardfacing materials is to protect a component or other material against the forces of wear.
