In fabrication, metal pickling refers to a metal treatment process that reduces impurities on the surface of a metallic object. The pickling process removes the surface impurities, such as stains,…
The bills of material, or BOMs, for products or assemblies, allow engineering to design and guide the manufacturing of individual material, parts, or assemblies. A bill of material specifies the…
Molar absorptivity is the measure of how well an object absorbs radiation that the object is in contact with. Molar absorptivity is integral to Beer-Lambert law which relates absorbance, absorptivity,…
Fracture toughness is a physical property of matter. It describes the resistance of the material to fracture while it has cracks. It is different than simple toughness which is defined…
In the realm of material science, the composition of a material and a molecular level affects how a material will react to different forces, temperatures, and changes. Among the different…
A hazop study is a powerful, systematic, and structured methodology that helps in identifying potential hazards and/or problems with plant operability. Hazop stands for hazard and operability study. The hazop…
The material property known as emissivity describes a material’s propensity to radiate energy. Emissivity measurements, sometimes referred to as an e-value, range from 0 to 1. A measurement of 0…
The materials selection process for a component or assembly involves a careful evaluation of the benefits and trade-offs of material properties. In this article, you will learn the properties involved…
A project engineer leads the technical development of an engineering project. Depending on the size and responsibility, he/she may also assume project management duties as well. The project engineer typically…
