If we take the melting temperature of the metal we are going to work with (metallic material in general, regardless of the type), for example, if we say that for "x" metal the melting temperature is 1000°C, if we work below 40% of the melting temperature, we can say that we are working cold. If we use the same material,…

We can define aluminum as one of the most useful alloys and widely used in the industry due to its properties as a lightweight, malleable, and long-lasting metal. It has excellent corrosion resistance, which makes it favorable for use in a wide variety of alloys for the manufacturing of utensils, containers, metalworking processes, assembly, casting, and machining.ALCA 5 is an…

Let's start by defining what stainless steel is. Stainless steels are iron-carbon based alloys to which other elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, silicon, and titanium, among others, are added, providing them with good resistance to certain types of corrosion in specific industrial applications.According to the EN 10088 standard, stainless steels are defined as ferrous alloys that contain chromium…

How much do you know about cast iron?Cast iron has been known for hundreds of years, but it is during the last century when it experiences its most important change.Starting in 1940, continuous casting processes and different alloys began to be used as new alternatives to steel competition for various applications.Remember that steel corresponds to an alloy of iron and…

We must know that steel is an alloy, which we define as a homogeneous mixture or solid metallic solution composed of two or more chemical elements, where at least one of them is a metal. The purpose of alloys is to improve the properties and characteristics of the metals that make them up. But why add alloying elements (different chemical…

Just as steels do, engineering plastics also contribute to human and technological development. This is because they are materials with better properties than some steels (stainless steel, bronze, aluminum, wood, etc.) depending on the application they are intended for.Some advantages of using engineering plastics are:· Weight reduction.· Corrosion resistance.· Greater wear performance under non-lubricated conditions.· Cost reduction.· Reduction of noise…

Did you know that most metals are not used in a pure state, but are mixed with others? This process, called alloying, involves combining two or more metals to make them harder or more resistant.The different alloys of a metal coincide, according to their compositions, in the technical characteristics obtained. This makes it possible to use them in numerous objects…

General machinery steels are usually highly versatile low-alloy steels used for the manufacturing or repair of machinery in general. They contain one or more alloying elements such as Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Molybdenum (Mo), among others, that are intentionally added to the iron-carbon (Fe-C) base.Among the machinery grade steels, the most common for the industry is the 4140 steel, which…
