Dual Certification
The term “dual certification” is primarily employed when certifying a material as meeting the specifications for two separate alloys.

There is a lot of confusion about the condition that age-hardenable materials, such as 17-4 or 718 are in. Are they annealed, solution annealed, or aged; and how can you tell?
Age-hardenable materials are heat treated to a particular sequence:
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
Introduction to Heat Resistant Alloys We have been supporting the heat-resistant alloy market for over 70 years. Many different industries, such as thermal processing, chemical processing, and power generation, depend on the capabilities of these alloys to perform day-to-day activities. In this webinar, we will explore the world of wrought
Sheet and Plate Flatness We would prefer it if all plates and sheets were “flat”. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different, and the standard commercial specifications for producing these products recognize this reality. The requirements for the flatness of plate and sheet products sold by Rolled Alloys vary considerably
Pipe Sizes and Tolerances Nominal Pipe Sizes (NPS) Steel pipe sizes are based on historical dimensions called Nominal Pipe Sizes (NPS) which standardize the nominal outside diameter (OD). Additionally, a series of standard wall thicknesses known as Schedules (SCH) was also developed years ago. The units for both NPS and

In most circumstances, machining stainless steel and nickel alloys is more difficult than machining low-alloy steels. However, there are a wide range of compositions, and some grades can have better machinability than mild steel.
Ferrite Content in Austenitic Stainless Steels The basic 300 series stainless steels like 304/304L and 316/316L have an austenitic microstructure and are non-magnetic. In the annealed condition, they are essentially free of ferrite, which is magnetic. Cast products of these alloys typically have some ferrite present. These alloys also form
PREN CALCULATOR Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREn) Stainless steels and nickel alloys are heavily utilized in many industries thanks to their excellent resistance to corrosion. However, it’s essential to remember that not all stainless steels and nickel alloys are created equal. The composition of these materials can vary widely, significantly
