Alloy Steel Vs Stainless Steel: A Comprehensive Guide

Alloy Steel Vs Stainless Steel A Comprehensive Guide

The debate on alloy steel vs stainless steel has been ongoing for years. Some people consider alloy steel to be a supertype of steel. On the flip side, many manufacturers convince their customers to use stainless steel. Both of these steel types have their unique perks.    Those perks make their selection process very confusing…

Melting Point of Copper​ (Cu) and its Alloys!

Melting Point of Copper​

Copper is a prevalent material due to its malleability and ductility. However, its high melting point also contributes to its popularity. So, manufacturers use it to make products that withstand high temperatures. Everyone knows it’s tough, strong, and rigid to melt. However, fewer people know the exact melting point of copper.   One of the…
