Why Maraging Steels Are NOT Hot-Working Steels: Exploring the Art of Heat Treatment for Metals

In our previous article about Additive Manufacturing, we discussed the cracking phenomenon associated with metals produced using LPBF-type techniques. We pointed out, the process of heating and cooling plays a pivotal role in the cracking process and that it shapes a metal’s microstructure, consequently influencing its thermo-mechanical properties. In this article we will talk about […]

Thermochemical Behavior of Metals in Casting Processes: An Analysis of Soldering Phenomena

In our previous article, we delved into the topic of metal heat treatment. In that context, we touched on the deterioration of mechanical strength that heat-treated steels, such as maraging steels, undergo when exposed to high temperatures within die casting processes. However, die casting is not solely influenced by temperature; it also involves intricate thermo-chemical
