The surface properties of some steel alloys can be adjusted through the introduction of specific elements via diffusion. An example of such a process is nitriding, where nitrogen is diffused into the ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and environmental factors create tiny variations in the skin's ridges and whorls, ...
