Mechanical properties of metals at ambient temperatures may be improved using various heat-treatment procedures, which have been established for many years. The concept of improving steel tensile and ...

Cryogenic treatment is the process of cooling items to cryogenic temperatures (temperatures below −190 °C, 83 K). This removes residual stresses in the material, improving wear resistance in metals ...

It wasn’t long after humans discovered metals that they also discovered ways to apply heat to them to change their properties, such as making the metal stronger or more flexible. Here are some concise ...
