Stainless steel is a steel alloy that is composed of a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass and a maximum of 1.2% carbon by mass. Stainless steel is defined by its crystalline structure. Stainless Steel can be categorized into 4 distinct families: Austenitic Ferritic Martensitic Duplex Stainless steel alloys in North America are designated... Continue Reading →
A chamfer /ˈtʃæm.fər/ is a transitional edge between two faces of an object. This term is commonly used in manufacturing and mechanical engineering. The word chamfer is derived from middle French chamfrein, a variant of the beveled edge. Where a beveled edge is a sloped edge that is not perpendicular to the faces of an... Continue Reading →
The 300 series of stainless steel alloys are part of the austenitic family. Austenitic stainless steels are chromium-nickel alloys which are hardened by cold working. Nickel is the main element varied within the alloys of this class while carbon is at low levels. The nickel content may be modified from about 4% to 22% -... Continue Reading →
Today, we are answering a frequently asked question at Copper and Brass Sales - what is the difference between a pipe, tube, and hollow bar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKrj2i4qRDo TubeManufacturing Method: Tubes are created by using slit coils of metal and putting it through a tube mill, a series of dies. Once the required shape, round, square or... Continue Reading →
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 →
