Special steels stand out for their unique properties, achieved through the addition of specific alloying elements. The influence of these alloying elements is crucial in modifying and optimizing the mechanical,…
The UNI EN 10027 standard establishes a unique system for steel designation, divided into two parts: an alphanumeric designation and a numeric designation. This system allows the main chemical and…
The DIN 17007 standard provides a unique system for designating steels, using a 5-digit (7-figure) numerical code. This system allows for precise identification of the characteristics of special steels, including…
Special steels stand out for their ability to meet diverse mechanical, physical, and chemical demands, thanks to the addition of specific alloying elements. Beyond carbon (C), a fundamental element that,…
An equally fundamental aspect to the production processes of special steels is the provision of a complete and exhaustive certificate of analysis and inspection. This document accompanies the steel supply…
The Eddy Current (or induced current) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that uses an electromagnetic probe to detect surface or sub-surface defects in conductive materials. This technology is widely…
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a fundamental non-destructive testing (NDT) technique for analyzing metallic materials, particularly special steels. This technique uses ultrasonic waves to detect internal defects, such as inclusions, porosity,…
Metallographic examination is a fundamental technique used to analyze the internal structure and microstructure of metallic materials, including special steels. This analysis allows for the observation of the material's microstructure,…
Tensile testing is one of the most fundamental tests used to determine a material's mechanical properties. This test evaluates how a material reacts when subjected to a tensile force, providing…
Resilience is a crucial mechanical property that determines a material's capacity to absorb energy during both elastic and plastic deformations. It's essential to understand this characteristic, also known as "impact…
