Researchers have validated the use of moving optics for laser hardening, which allows the process to be adapted to the shape of the part Hardening is a surface heat treatment applied to steel parts ...

What do gears, bearings, and shafts have in common? For one thing, they're often made out of steel. For another, they're subject to a failure mode known as rolling contact fatigue. Rolling contact ...

According to the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) Standard 35, sinter hardening is quench hardening during the cooling cycle of the sintering furnace. Accelerated cooling is applied to the ...

Induction hardening provides excellent hardness distribution with minimal deformations, and also offers significant benefits over conventional techniques. However, induction hardening also places high ...
