CMMC 2.0 and what heat treaters should be doing now
The heat-treating industry, while traditionally focused on metallurgical and heat-treating processes, has increasingly become integrated with the digital world. As a critical component in the supply chains of defense, aerospace, and other high-tech industries, heat treaters have now become custodians of sensitive and controlled unclassified information (CUI). With the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 […]
Homogenization heat treatment influence on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties for an alloy used in lightweight aerospace applications
Al–Li–Cu–Mg–Zr alloys are widely used in the aerospace industry for different applications and make an excellent concurrent to high-performance composites. This family of alloys has remarkable properties such as low density, high elastic modulus, high strength and specific stiffness, fracture toughness, fatigue crack growth resistance, and improved corrosion resistance. The present work aims to investigate […]
Advanced distortion control for case hardening of transmission components
In many applications the high demands regarding fatigue properties of transmission components can be reached only by the application of customized case hardening. This case-hardening process results in a wear resistant surface layer in combination with a tough core. However, as a side effect, the components get distorted during heat treatment. This distortion has a […]
