Stainless steel and carbon steel bars are the backbone of many projects, from towering skyscrapers to intricate machinery. While both materials appear similar to the untrained eye, their distinct chemical compositions yield a range of unique properties. Stainless steel is celebrated for its corrosion resistance, attributed to the presence of chromium, which forms an oxide […]

Understanding the three basic categories—metals, non-metals, and metalloids—is foundational to materials science and has broad implications for multiple industries. Each category has its own atomic and molecular structures, focusing on electron configurations, bonding types, and their physical and chemical properties, such as luster, malleability, conductivity, and reactivity. Knowledge of this helps scientists and engineers to […]

Before we get into the prevention methods, it’s best to understand the enemy: rust. Rust, scientifically known as iron oxide, is a corrosion process that happens when iron or steel comes into contact with oxygen and moisture. This chemical reaction gradually breaks the metal’s surface, compromising its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. To effectively prevent […]
