Understanding High-Temperature Distortion of Metals

Understanding High-Temperature Distortion of Metals​ When metals are subjected to high temperatures, they undergo expansion. The extent of expansion is measured in terms of the coefficient of thermal expansion. This physical property is frequently cited for various engineering materials. In the thermal processing industry, neglecting thermal expansion is a leading cause of failure of thermal […]

Inclusions in Specialty Alloys

Rolled Alloys - Latest Articles

When molten metal (steel, stainless steel, or nickel alloys) solidifies, the center of an ingot or slab is the last to freeze. While non-metallic impurities (oxides, nitrides, sulfides, silicides) settle throughout the ingot or slab, the greatest concentration of these inclusions settle along the solidification front…
