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.

Essentials of Heat Treatment provides a thorough introduction to steel heat treatment, including a discussion of how heat and carbon content impact a steel's microstructure. This class also describes ...

Due to its exceptional corrosion resistance and high strength, DSS is the best metal to use in harsh settings such as reactors, petroleum tankers, deep-sea pipelines to transport petroleum material, ...
