Introduction The stress-strain curve is a fundamental concept in material science to understand how a material behaves when pulled. With this article, we hope to explain this curve and the different stages that most materials undergo when subjected to a pulling force. Let us begin! What is the stress-strain curve? The stress-strain curve refers to …
Introduction The iron carbon phase diagram is, without doubt, the most used diagram in material science. Those in the industry rightly refer to it as the “Monalisa” of material science. Students learn it in the very first year of their engineering courses and use it for the rest of their lives if they choose to …
Heat treatment methods Heat treatment methods are used in the manufacturing industry to achieve exceptional metallic properties of a material that will undergo a wide range of stresses during its service life. The selection of metal for an application is a crucial design step when manufacturing any product. The right selection gives us a product …
