    Carbon Pickup in heat treatment

    I have discovered that low carbon steels pickup a lot of carbon some times in the range of 100% while heat treating these steels in a natural gas fired furnaces. I noticed this carbon pickup in steels containing less than 0.03% carbon. It appears that the part less than 3" thick gets fully...

    CD4MCU welding

    Dear Gurus I am trying to set a PQR for CD4MCU duplex stainless steel casting. After welding, the ASTM standard was followed for PHWT which is, stabilising at 2050F for 1in/hr and 2h min and then furnace cooling to 1900F, stabilising at 1900F and quenching in agitated water. I came up with an...
