  2. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    This produces steel that is much stronger than full-annealed steel, and much tougher than tempered quenched steel. However, added toughness is sometimes needed at a reduction in strength. Tempering provides a way to carefully decrease the hardness of the steel, thereby increasing the toughness to a more desirable point.

  3. Low-background steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel

    Low-background steel, also known as pre-war steel [1] and pre-atomic steel, [2] is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first nuclear bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. Typically sourced from ships (either as part of regular scrapping or shipwrecks ) and other steel artifacts of this era, it is often used for modern particle detectors ...

  4. Steelmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmaking

    Steel is made from iron and carbon. Cast iron is a hard, brittle material that is difficult to work, whereas steel is malleable, relatively easily formed and versatile. On its own, iron is not strong, but a low concentration of carbon – less than 1 percent, depending on the kind of steel – gives steel strength and other important properties.

  5. Hierarchy of precious substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_of_precious...

    The measurement of sales of popular music starts high relative to the wedding anniversary scale, concentrating on gold and platinum (see gold album).Likewise, credit card companies usually have a "gold card" and a "platinum card" (many formerly had a "silver card" then followed by a "gold card", but due to similarity in appearance between silver and platinum these were often discontinued with ...

  6. Bessemer process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessemer_process

    Before it was introduced, steel was far too expensive to make bridges or the framework for buildings and thus wrought iron had been used throughout the Industrial Revolution. After the introduction of the Bessemer process, steel and wrought iron became similarly priced, and some users, primarily railroads, turned to steel.

  7. Titanium gold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_gold

    Like many other alloys, titanium gold alloys have a higher yield strength, tensile strength, hardness, and magnetism than either of its constituent metals. [ 4 ] In July 2016, researchers led by Emilia Morosan at Rice University discovered that a titanium-gold alloy, β-Ti 3 Au, is an intermetallic alloy that is up to 4 times harder than pure ...

  8. Mangalloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangalloy

    Hadfield's invention was the first alloy of steel to demonstrate considerable differences in properties compared to carbon steel. [13] In the modern age, it is known that manganese inhibits the transformation of the malleable austenite phase into hard brittle martensite that takes place for normal steels when they are quenched in the hardening ...
