Question
hello sir,
i m paritosh singh,completing my B.Tech degree from computer science at vit university in india, i got to know about you from allexperts.com website. sir, currently i m working on a project in which we need to fabricate mild steel sheet on a borosillicate glass tube. please help me in knowing that is this type of fabrication possible. if yes how can we do it with lowest cost possible(as project is on college level only)

Answer
Are you talking about Spheroidizing the steel?  Spheroidite forms when carbon steel is heated to approximately 700 °C for over 30 hours. Spheroidite can form at lower temperatures but the time needed drastically increases, as this is a diffusion-controlled process. The result is a structure of rods or spheres of cementite within primary structure (ferrite or pearlite, depending on which side of the eutectoid you are on). The purpose is to soften higher carbon steels and allow more formability. This is the softest and most ductile form of steel.

If this is not what you are looking for, please elaborate on your project and I will see if I can help.  Thank you.
