302HQ is a specialised wire grade finding very wide usage for manufacture of stainless steel fasteners. The inclusion of 3% copper in the composition reduces the cold work hardening rate substantially ...

The single most important thing to remember when fabricating a product from stainless steel is to ensure that the fabrication processes retain and do not compromise the intrinsic properties of ...

There are three basic distinctions among carbon steel grades, referred to as low-carbon, medium-carbon, and high-carbon steels. Carbon steel consists of numerous different grades that offer different ...

Those steel alloys known as high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels provide increased strength-to-weight ratios over conventional low-carbon steels for only a modest price premium. Because HSLA alloys ...

Automakers are turning more to high-strength steel than aluminum as a replacement for mild steel. After a push to satisfy consumer demand for safer vehicles with stronger steels, manufacturers are ...

Battelle’s two-curve method (TCM) fracture arrest predictions for X70 grade steels and higher requires a correction factor for the predictions to be accurate and useful for selecting pipe steels. The ...
