Full Transcript: What's up guys?!?! Michael with Michael Talks Metal back again for the 144th episode in our current video series; our second on PH stainless steels... If you have not seen the first and would like to do so now . .... click here Our next classification is called semi- austenitic. Chemical composition of these alloys lead to a different set of structures during the multiple steps in heat treatment. Like all the PH stainless steels, the first step is a "solution treatment"that achi

Full Transcript: What's up guys?!?!?! Michael with Michael Talks Metal back for more martensitic machinations in our 2nd part on Martensitics!!!! In our video last week we talked about martensitic types that have a maximum carbon content of point 15% and maximum hardness of about 40 Rc. If you did not check out that video .. click here Higher carbon contents allow us to achieve higher hardness and strength with heat treatment. Higher Chromium and other added elements can improve corrosion perfor

What's up guys?!?!? Michael with Michael Talks Metal back for more martensitic metal madness today. For the next two weeks our videos will introduce you to the martensitic stainless steels. Unlike the austenitic and ferritic types, a martensitic stainless can be hardened by conventional heat treatments....... you may be familiar with heat treating carbon and alloy steels. In very simplified terms, you heat the material up to a temperature where the structure becomes austenitic and then cool at a

Full Transcript: What's up guys?!?!?! It's Michael with Michael Talks Metal and we’re back for the 140th time and our topic today is the basics of the ferritic types of stainless steels. When enough Chromium is added to iron it creates a stainless steel. If no other alloying element is added, its metallurgical structure is "ferritic" at all temperatures it would encounter in fabrication and use. Ferritic types are magnetic at temperatures below the Curie point and are used in some applications w
