Sensitization is a phenomenon that can occur in stainless steel. It is a critical concept that needs to be understood as it can adversely affect the performance of stainless steel. This causes the steel or alloy to become susceptible to intergranular corrosion or intergranular stress corrosion cracking (SCC). What are stainless steels? Stainless steels are
Austenite and ferrite stabilizing elements are terms used in the context of alloying elements in steel and other materials to describe their influence on the microstructure and phase composition of the material. These elements promote the formation of either the austenite phase or the ferrite phase, which are two different crystal structures in metallic materials.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), also known as TIG welding, is a captivating combination of science and craftsmanship. It is considered one of the most precise and versatile methods in the welding industry, capable of producing flawless and superior welds in different materials. In this blog, we will explore the fundamental principles, necessary equipment, essential
A stress-strain curve is a visual representation illustrating how a material behaves under increasing loads. Stress, which is the ratio of force to cross-sectional area, and strain, the ratio of a change in dimension length to the original length, are the defining factors in this graph. These curves can be constructed to examine how materials
The ASME B31.1 – 2022 Power Piping Code plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and safety of power piping systems.
