Small cylindrical parts are often formed through deep drawing — a process by which a punch forms the finished piece from a flat sheet of metal using a forming die. If it sounds like that stresses the ...

Alternative higher strength steels can be developed by post-forming heat treatment. Retaining the geometry of components during and subsequent to the heat treatment process is a key barrier for the ...

Steel has always been the backbone of industrial progress. From agriculture and manufacturing to storage and machinery, the ...
