Spring steel wires produced from acid open-hearth steels (see
notes at M B GRADE).
Sheets that have prohibited defects, for example seams and buckled
plates. Generally fit for re-melting purposes only.
Usually supplied cold rolled and annealed in large widths and
cut and hardened by the spring manufacturers. Carbon content about
1.15% and Tungsten .17%, extra precision rolled.
Process of hardening high carbon steels by quenching in water
or brine after heating.
Not flat. A slight wave following the direction of rolling and
beyond the standard limitation for flatness.
A hardwood stick used as a forming tool in spinning.
A process used to join metals by the application of heat. Fusion
welding, which includes gas, arc, and resistance welding, requires
that the parent metals be melted. This distinguishes fusion welding
from brazing. In pressure welding joining is accomplished by the
use of heat and pressure without melting. The parts that are being
welded are pressed together and heated simultaneously, so that
recrystalization occurs across the interface.
Increase in resistant to deformation (i.e. in hardness) produced
by cold working.
The characteristic or group of characteristic that determines
the ease of forming a metal into desired shapes.
(See Stretcher Strains)
Iron containing only a very small amount of other elements, but
containing 1-3% by weight of slag in the form of particles elongated
in one direction, giving the iron a characteristic grain. Is more
rust-resistant than steel and welds more easily.
