Using a raw material of 70% blast furnace slag and nucleating agents of 1% Cr2O3 and 4% TiO2 in an orthogonal experiment, the team based in China were able to optimize the heat-treatment process used ...

cordierite and glass-ceramics have distinct properties and manufacturingmethods, suitable for different applications.

In the past various methods have been employed for heat treating metals, which is usually carried out using large furnaces where an entire object undergoes the heating process. These processes have ...

A heat treatment process known as annealing is emerging as a low-cost way to enhance the strength and heat resistance of 3D printed parts made from common filaments like PLA and PETG. Originally used ...

A technology has been developed to continuously heat-treat thin metal films using microwaves, similar to those used in everyday microwave ovens. This is expected to aid in the wider adoption of 'Low-E ...

It wasn’t long after humans discovered metals that they also discovered ways to apply heat to them to change their properties, such as making the metal stronger or more flexible. Here are some concise ...

Car components with doubled mechanical strength, higher fatigue resistance and improved energy absorption are the result of a revolutionary CSIRO heat treatment process for high pressure die casting ...

Glass is heat-treated for two reasons: the first is to increase its strength to resist external stresses such as wind and snow loads, or thermal loads caused by the sun’s energy. The second is to ...
