The oxycutting technique is an auxiliary welding process, by which metals can be sectioned by means of local and continuous combustion in the presence of any combustible gas (acetylene, hydrogen, propane, coal, tetrene or crylene) in combination with pure oxygen ( in percentages greater than 99%). This cutting technique was developed at the beginning of the […]
The groups of steels that have high hardness and mechanical properties that make it possible to extend the useful life of equipment in sliding, impact and friction applications are often called wear steels. Wear steel manifests itself in different ways and each one of them affects the life span of the application in a different […]
In the metal industry, the “steel hardness” is called the mechanical resistance of steels and this is measured by tests using different methods and scales to determine the hardness. Some of the steel hardness test methods are: Brinell hardness, Knoop hardness, Rockwell hardness, Rosiwal hardness, Vickers hardness, among others. One of the most widely used […]
Manganese steel is a steel alloy that contains 12-14% manganese. Recognized for his high impact resistance and abrasion resistance in its hardened state, steel is often described as the ultimate work hardening steel. It is the most used alloy addition in the manufacture of steel and is present in practically all grades of steel. Manganese […]
