Metallurgy - Definition, Principles & Examples

this old man was around a lot of welding and metallurgy processes for over 40 years. He's 63 years old and he shows signs of serious neurodegeneration most likely from chronic exposure to industrial processes. He always taught me to let the work I do speak for me. Someday in the not too distant future submarines will silently speak the testament of my fathers legacy in life. Please, if you guys could just give him a little love and respect by liking or commenting on this post it would most defin

Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "What you’re seeing is called quenching — one of the most dramatic processes in metallurgy. A piece of metal, glowing red-hot from being freshly forged, is plunged into water to cool and solidify. This rapid cooling forces the outer layers to contract faster than the inside, creating enormous thermal stress. 💥 At first, the surface is so hot that water instantly vaporizes, forming a layer of steam — the Leidenfrost effect — briefly insulating the metal. Once it c
