Tungsten carbide, also known as widia, is a tool material widely used in industry. It is manufactured using a powder metallurgy process from metal carbides, where tungsten serves as the base, and cobalt, along with elements such as titanium or nickel, often acts as the binder. What makes it one of the most valuable raw materials in the scrap metal industry? Here are the properties of sintered carbides: 💎 Hardness comparable to diamond, making it ideal for producing exceptionally durable tools. 🪨 Use resistance, highly appreciated in industries requiring efficient and long-lasting tools. 🌡️ Resistance to high temperatures, enabling its use in thermal processing and cutting operations, while simultaneously limiting heat conduction. 🔨 Resistance to cracking and deformation, allowing sintered carbide to withstand even the most extreme stresses.

Zinc wheel weights are usually not pure zinc, but zinc alloys. They contain a mixture of zinc and other metals. The purity of zinc itself is usually between 90-95%, depending on the specific alloy used; small amounts of other elements such as aluminum, copper, etc. may be added to the zinc alloy. The addition of these alloying elements will change the hardness of zinc. For example, adding aluminum can increase the hardness of zinc alloy. When the aluminum content is appropriately increased, the hardness of zinc alloy can be increased to about 60 - 80 HB. https://lnkd.in/gyVi_wuw

Plymouth Foundry: Mastering Traditional Principles of Iron Casting Processes Iron castings, the cornerstone of industrial manufacturing, form the essence of expertise. This chapter delves into the fundamentals of iron castings, elucidating their production process and casting techniques. What are Iron Castings? Iron castings are robust products born from the fusion of iron and carbon, boasting a higher carbon content than steel. Ranging from 2 to 4.3 percent, this carbon composition lends iron castings their distinctive properties. Additionally, cast iron comprises silicon, manganese, and trace impurities like sulfur and phosphorus. Originating from iron ore reduction in blast furnaces, liquid iron is cast into crude ingots known as pigs. These pigs undergo remelting alongside scrap and alloying elements in cupola furnaces before being recast into molds, yielding a diverse array of products. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gseeTgNF

Steel Metal Parts Materials Steel is an alloy made of iron and carbon, with a carbon content ranging from 0.0218% to 2.11%. It also contains small amounts of silicon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus. To keep it flexible and plastic, the carbon content is usually kept below 1.7%. Adding these elements not only boosts steel's strength and hardness but also improves its workability and resistance to corrosion. For instance, silicon enhances the strength and heat resistance of steel, https://lnkd.in/gfmxq3wZ

Depending upon amount of presence of carbon in the alloys, carbon steel which is known as mild steel can be classified into 3 types-

What is the difference between silicon metal 441 and 553? Each grade of silicon metal has its own specific meaning, for example, 553/441/2202/3303, etc., which means that the silicon content is greater than or equal to 98.5%, divided into three types of impurities: iron, aluminum, and calcium (in order) Of subcategories. Metallic silicon 553 represents that the industrial silicon contains iron less than or equal to 0.5%, aluminum content is less than or equal to 0.5%, and calcium content is less than or equal to 0.3%; Metallic silicon 441 Industrial silicon means iron content is less than or equal to 0.3%, aluminum content is less than or equal to 0.3%, calcium content is less than or equal to 0.1%, and so on, due to customary reasons. Metallic silicon 2202 is also abbreviated as 220, which means that calcium is less than or equal to 0.02%. The industrial silicon at the beginning of 2 is generally called chemical silicon.
