We have procedures for cleaning the surface mechanically, but it is very time consuming and we have an...
I recently changed jobs to an Aluminum casting facility. We typically use OES for our material composition tests, but in certain situations we perform a wet-chemistry method of detection (typically for the major alloying elements).
We would like to do this for Silicon, due to the higher...
I am an intern at a company that melts and rolls many different grades of non-stainless steel. We have had some consistent issues with de-carb in some high-silicon steels (particularly 1% or higher Si). The grades we melted with this issue also typically have .40% + carbon.
