Precipitation Hardened Bolts: The What & Why?

Posted on November 15, 2016 by dean

So you’ve heard the term, but what is it? Technically, it is a method in which an alloy’s structural matrix is altered on an atomic level by using temperature change to enhance the material’s mechanical properties – increasing the yield and tensile strength. Simply, it is a way to further strengthen a material. It is … Continue reading →
