Stainless steel, a high-alloy steel material, is widely used in various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, one intriguing aspect of stainless steel is its magnetic behavior. Some stainless steels are magnetic, while others are not. In this blog, we will explore the science behind this phenomenon and the different […]
Recrystallization Process: When a deformed metal is heated to elevated temperatures, the atoms’ diffusion ability increases and the elongated (or flattened) and fractured grains undergo re-nucleation and growth to form new, uniform, and fine equiaxed grains. This process is known as recrystallization. After recrystallization, the strength and hardness of the metal significantly decrease while plasticity […]
