There are many different types of superalloys containing various levels of titanium, silicon, sulfur, phosphorus, molybdenum, manganese, chromium, carbon, boron, aluminum, iron, nickel, and cobalt. Most of them contain four to six elements to produce quality parts and components, and cobalt alloy the largest often used in forging valves in […]
Remember your atomic numbers in high school? That rare corrosion-resistant metal your professor discussed in class with an atomic number of 40 is zirconium. Unlike its correlative element, hafnium, this type of metal is not ideal when it comes to absorbing neutrons. Nonetheless, it is one of the materials used […]
In the forging industry, companies often look for products with plasticity matching, good strength, moderate density, and can withstand a high-temperature atmosphere. Like titanium, zirconium also has outstanding corrosion resistance in several alkali and acid media. It is among the few essential structural materials used by nuclear industries.Here are the […]
