  2. Grain size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_size

    Wentworth grain size chart from United States Geological Survey Open-File Report 2006-1195: Note size typos; 33.1mm is 38.1 & .545mm is .594 Beach cobbles at Nash Point, South Wales. Grain size (or particle size) is the diameter of individual grains of sediment, or the lithified particles in clastic rocks.

  3. Recrystallization (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recrystallization_(metallurgy)

    The mechanism of secondary recrystallization is a small and uniform primary grain size, achieved through the inhibition of normal grain growth by fine precipitates called inhibitors. [2] Goss grains are named in honor of Norman P. Goss, the inventor of grain-oriented electrical steel circa 1934.

  4. Steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_grades

    EN 10027-1 steel grade designation system. European standard steel grade names fall into two categories: [1] Steel specified by purpose of use and mechanical properties. Steel specified by chemical composition. The inclusion of a letter 'G' before the code indicates the steel is specified in the form of a casting.

  5. Mesh (scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_(scale)

    Mesh is a measurement of particle size often used in determining the particle-size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings. When the mesh is shaken, small broken pieces and dust pass through the mesh while whole peanuts are retained on the mesh.

  6. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

    For many alloys, including carbon steel, the crystal grain size and phase composition, which ultimately determine the material properties, are dependent on the heating rate and cooling rate. Hot working or cold working after the annealing process alters the metal structure, so further heat treatments may be used to achieve the properties required.

  7. High-strength low-alloy steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-strength_low-alloy_steel

    Microalloyed steels: Steels which contain very small additions of niobium, vanadium, and/or titanium to obtain a refined grain size and/or precipitation hardening. A common type of micro-alloyed steel is improved-formability HSLA. It has a yield strength up to 80,000 psi (550 MPa) but costs only 24% more than A36 steel (36,000 psi (250 MPa)).

  8. Duplex stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_Stainless_Steel

    Duplex stainless is widely used in the industry because it possesses excellent oxidation resistance but can have limited toughness due to its large ferritic grain size, and they have hardened, and embrittlement tendencies at temperatures ranging from 280 to 500 °C, especially at 475 °C, where spinodal decomposition of the supersaturated solid ...

  9. SAE steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_steel_grades

    The SAE steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system (SAE J1086 – Numbering Metals and Alloys) for steel grades maintained by SAE International. In the 1930s and 1940s, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels.
