Download or read book On the Abnormal/Coarse Grain Formation in K-Monel 500 Alloy written by Robert J. Reidel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps unlock the root cause of abnormal grain growth in a commercial nickel alloy. The chapters explore the effects of different solution treating and aging techniques, showing how they impact the hardness properties of hot-rolled and cold-drawn Monel K-500. The book covers how high-frequency induction heat treating can lead to severe duplex microstructure, and uncovers the surprising differences between solution treating in vacuum and convection air furnaces. This book is helpful to anyone seeking to optimize the performance of metal alloys.
