low-carbon steels
1Carbon steel — Iron alloy phases Ferrite (α iron, δ iron) Austenite (γ iron) Pearlite (88% ferrite, 12% cementite) …
2steel — steellike, adj. /steel/, n. 1. any of various modified forms of iron, artificially produced, having a carbon content less than that of pig iron and more than that of wrought iron, and having qualities of hardness, elasticity, and strength varying …
3Case hardening — or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal, often a low carbon steel, by infusing elements into the material s surface, forming a thin layer of a harder alloy. Case hardening is usually done after the part in question …
4Machinability — The term machinability refers to the ease with which a metal can be machined to an acceptable surface finish.Degarmo, p. 542.] Materials with good machinability require little power to cut, can be cut quickly, easily obtain a good finish, and do… …
5Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene — (UHMWPE or sometimes shortened to UHMW), also known as high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) or high performance polyethylene (HPPE), is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. It has extremely long chains, with molecular weight numbering in the… …
6Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene — (UHMWPE), also known as high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) or high performance polyethylene (HPPE), is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. It has extremely long chains, with molecular weight numbering in the millions, usually between 2 and… …
7iron — ironless, adj. ironlike, adj. /uy euhrn/, n. 1. Chem. a ductile, malleable, silver white metallic element, scarcely known in a pure condition, but much used in its crude or impure carbon containing forms for making tools, implements, machinery,… …
8Martensitic stainless steel — is a specific type of stainless steel alloy. Stainless steels may be classified by their crystalline structure into three main types: Austenitic, Ferritic and Martensitic. Martensitic steels are low carbon steels built around the Type 410… …
9Puddling (metallurgy) — Puddling was an Industrial Revolution means of making iron and steel. In the original puddling technique, molten iron in a reverberatory furnace was stirred with rods, which were consumed in the process. Later, it was also used to produce a good… …
10Chip formation — The basic chip formation process. Chip formation is part of the process of cutting materials by mechanical means, using tools such as saws, lathes and milling cutters. An understanding of the theory and engineering of this formation is an… …
