Austenitic stainless steel is a specific type of steel alloy typically in use for stainless applications. Stainless steels are organized in four main categories by their crystalline structure: austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex. Austenitic steels are hardenable by cold treatment and are mostly non-magnetic. Today, we are breaking down the basics of what you should... Continue Reading →
Did you know that copper has been in use for at least 10,000 years? As with many natural resources, the total amount of copper on Earth is vast (around 1014 tons just in the top kilometer of Earth’s crust, or about 5 million years worth at the current rate of extraction). However, only a tiny... Continue Reading →
In the early 1900’s a lab in England was investigating ways to eliminate rust in gun barrels and from this led to the creation of stainless steel. By adding a minimum amount of 10.5% chromium to steel the material becomes “stainless steel.” Alloy 416 is a Martensitic grade alloy. It is a variation of the... Continue Reading →
