The water hardening types of tool steel are covered by AS1239 ‘W’ grades and these are shallow hardening. These steels contain around 1% carbon and may have small additions of vanadium for grain ...

Researchers have validated the use of moving optics for laser hardening, which allows the process to be adapted to the shape of the part Hardening is a surface heat treatment applied to steel parts ...

This video from Ameritherm explains the basics of Induction Hardening. Many types of steel are treated with heat to increase toughness and resistance to wear. The effectiveness of this process depends ...

Russian state corporation Rosatom says that for the first time it has used its own technology for laser strengthening of steel in the manufacturing of rotor parts of turbine pumps for nuclear power ...

In this video, I forge a drift made from "ORVAR" steel, which is equivalent to H13. This air hardening steel is incredibly difficult to forge by hand, but ultimately, I crafted a functional drift for ...
