Control of Material Properties


Metals and alloys may not posses all properties required in a finished product. The metal properties can be controlled by following methods:
1. Alloying

2. Heat Treatment
3. Mechanical Working and Re-crystallization.

Behavior of metal when subjected to various types of stresses depends upon the following factors:
1. Magnitude of stress
2. Nature of stress
3. Method of application of stress
4. Time of application of stress
5. Temperature
6. Composition of metal
