Chemical symbol C, atomic weight 12, atomic number 6 We all know what carbon is, that it exists as charcoal, coal, coke, and after millions of years under extreme pressure, diamonds. But for the most part it’s a dirty, messy, shapeless mass that seems good for nothing apart from being burned or reducing
by Dell Williams Originally published on Manufacturing.net Machine shops often need open die forged parts for a variety of applications, including large, custom parts, small quantity runs or when high strength and durability are required. When this is the case, machine shops often contract with forgers for “as forged” parts and then perform finish

One Alloy. Many Uses As we previously mentioned, the stainless steel that Harry Brearley discovered was what came to be known as type 420, or what we call a martensitic stainless steel. Or a hardenable stainless steel that may be hardened and tempered, as are normal carbon or alloy steels. There are also
Origins Stainless steel was first recognized as a commercial proposition in 1913, by Harry Brearley, a metallurgist in Sheffield, England, after he noticed that certain gun barrels containing around 13% chromium didn’t rust when they were left outside. What he’d discovered was a steel that approximates to what we know today as type
Stainless Steel In Wind Turbines by Royce Lowe In 2022, wind energy increased by some 265 TWh, or 14%, to reach over 2100 TWh. This represented the second highest growth among renewable power technologies, behind solar PV. But to make serious progress towards the Net Zero Emissions by 2050, which is looking
the United States leads in fracking by Royce Lowe The United States has always been one of the world leaders in the oil and natural gas business. Still, with the intensity of fracking a couple of decades ago, it became the world’s number one producer of crude oil and natural gas. Fracking, or
