Copper Foil Manufacturing
With high appeal in a wide range of industrial products, copper is viewed as a very versatile material.
Copper foils are produced by very specific manufacturing processes within the foil mill which includes both hot and cold rolling.
Cryogenic Treatment of Steel: Part Two
As a progressive area of materials science, the cryogenic processing of materials is giving rise to new traction in the quest to further increase the longevity of the service life of tool materials.
The main benefits of cryogenic processing are greatly improved mechanical properties like hardness, wear resistance, toughness, and resistance to fatigue cracking.
Cryogenic Treatment of Steel: Part One
Cryogenic treatment of materials has been present in the aerospace industry for over 30 years primarily to enhance the service life of the treated steel.
A number of key factors affect the success of sub-zero treatments including time, temperature profile and tempering practice but used in specific combinations can produce excellent results particularly for wear dependent materials such as tool steels.
