[1 13]. Patents have been issued for thousands of alloy compositions. However, most of them contain a relatively limited number of alloying elements. This is illustrated by Appendix 1, which provides ...
To create them, the process of modifying the steel surface with carbon, nitrogen, and alloy elements needs to be optimized. To understand the interactions between elements in steel, a systematic ...
Many pure metals are too soft for many uses. They can be made harder by adding another element to the pure metal, so forming an alloy. This explains why an alloy often has more uses than the pure ...
