Both 304 and 316 stainless steels are austenitic grade stainless steels having very good corrosion resistance. Also popular as A2 by the International Organization for Standardization ISO 3506; 304...

The outermost surface of any metal is the most important area as it suffers from direct impact and abrasion while in operation. So, it is always desirable to make the metal surface...

Normalizing is a widely popular heat treatment process for metals to increase ductility and toughness. This heat treatment is also known as normalizing annealing as the normalizing heat treatment...

Annealing is one of the most popular heat treatment methods to alter the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. Annealing is mostly used to increase the ductility of a material and to reduce the...

Galvanizing, a coating of zinc has been used to protect iron and steel from rusting or corrosion. Galvanized steel, due to its high durability is used widely worldwide. Even though it is always...

A thrust block is a concrete pipe restraint that prevents the mainline from moving by transferring pipe loads (mainly due to pressure thrust) to a wider load-bearing surface. Usually, thrust blocks...
