It is a special blade with a curved blade crescent shaped. Formerly it was a chisel with a wooden handle that was served to cut the steel bars with which the plough blades were manufactured. The blacksmith placed it on the steel and the apprentice hit it with the iron mallet until the parts split.
Details It is a special blade with a curved leaf crescent shaped. Formerly it was a chisel with a wooden handle that served to cut the steel bars with which the ploughshares were made. The blacksmith placed it on the steel and the apprentice beat it with the iron mallet until separating the pieces.
Details The second most abundant chemical element on the earth’s surface. It is used in the steel refining processas a deoxidizer and is an element that in the form of silica appears in great part of the refractories used in the steel industry. As an alloying element in carbon steels increases the yield strength, being one…
Details Non-alloyed steels and alloyed steels are considered special when they have higher purity (inclusionary cleaning) than common steels, more precise chemical composition and improved properties. Visit our range of special steels
Details Part of a representative sample of material, with a fixed dimensions, which is tested to verify a certain characteristic.
Details They are steels that by their properties, after quenching and tempering, are suitale for the manufacture of springs. They have a high yield strength, which allows them to support defined loads, without presenting permanent deformation after removal of the load. These steels have high Carbon content and alloying elements such as Silicon, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum…
Details Stainless steels are steels containing a minimum of 10.5% of Chromium and a maximum of 1.2% of Carbon. They usually contain Nickel, being differentiated the stainless with content below 2.5% of Nickel and those of content equal or superior to 2.5%. These steels are characterized by the surface layer of chromium oxide that is generated…
Details Deformation of material by strokes on closed dies until forming final pieces. The stamping can be done in cold or hot. Cold stamping is considered when the deformation is performed at room temperature (or lower than the recrystallization temperature of the material). Hot stamping would be the closed die forging process.
Details Iron alloy containing a percentage of carbon lower than the maximum saturation limit of carbon in austenite, generally less than 2%,and other elements This iron alloy with carbon makes that iron, of high plasticity but excessively soft, becomes a resistant and ductile material. At higher carbon content, the strength and hardness will increase to the detriment of ductility.
