Steel is a material that is used in a wide variety of applications, from construction to cutlery. It is well-known for its strength and durability, but did you know that steel has three different phases? The phase of a material refers to its crystal structure and the phase of steel changes as the temperature increases. …

Annealing is usually done after cold working to reduce internal stresses caused by plastic deformation. These stresses can make the material more prone to cracking during later processing or use, and are a major cause of material failure. Annealing is the process of making something softer or more flexible by heating it to a high …

Depending on numerous elements that influence its microstructure, steel may be brittle or ductile. It can also be hard and soft, which is dependent on the chemical composition, heat treatment, and other factors. Let’s look at some factors that can make steel Ductile or Brittle; Carbon Percentage Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon …
