Magneform (electromagnetic assembly and forming)

...carbon steel. The resistivity of material is best if it is less than 15 x 10-6 Ω cm. Materials of poor conductivity, such as stainless steels, can be formed by using a highly conductive driver, such as aluminium sheet, or a specially built high frequency machine. Different materials can be assembled together, such as metal rings on to plastic, glass, composites and...

Electro-slag welding

...carbon steel, low-alloy high strength steel, and quenched and tempered low-alloy steel. Can also be used to weld stainless steel and aluminium alloys if required. The weld metal acquires the structure of a casting, wherein the sizes and orientations of the grains are governed by heat removal characteristics. Long columnar grains can be formed with microsegregation and...

Cold forging

...carbon mild steel (<0.2 wt% C) which is used to produce a wide range of components, mainly in the automotive and bicycle component industries. Mild steel has to be annealed before cold forging and at interstage processes. Cold forging causes strain hardening in the materials, resulting in increases of 30–120% in tensile strength and 100–300% in yield strength values....

Powder Forging / Hot pressing

...carbon steel, which can be hardened and tempered to give mechanical properties as good as, or better than, wrought alloy. Other steel compositions include steels suitable for carburising or through-hardening applications, e.g. Fe-1.8Ni-0.45Mo-0.2Mn-0.35C with a tensile strength of 930 MPa and elongation of 13%. Pre-alloyed aluminium alloy powders include the following...

Soil as the book of nature

...carbon trapped in soil's organic matter, exacerbating climate change and having grave consequences for life on earth. What's being done? As the concern on soils has come to the forefront of public awareness, national and international bodies are moving towards legislation and action. For example, the UK government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs...

What were Victorian pauper's graves like?

...carbonic acid gas, generated from decayed animal, he would not permit the party to go down, as not the slightest hope could be entertained of saving the lives of those who were already at the bottom of the grave. He (Mr Jones) then sent for two bottles of concentrated solution of chlorate of lime, which he threw into the grave, but even after this he found that the foul...
