At ZYLAB, we take pride in providing high-quality laboratory equipment that meets the rigorous demands of research institutions and universities worldwide. Recently, we had the opportunity to supply a Square Dry Pellet Pressing Mold to the University of Technical Malaysia Malacca (UTeM), a leading institution in materials science and engineering research.
Tempering is the essential follow-up step after quenching, ensuring metals are not only strong but also reliable in daily use. By carefully selecting the tempering temperature and furnace type, engineers can fine-tune hardness, toughness, and ductility to match specific applications.
Quenching is a key heat treatment process designed to achieve extreme hardness through rapid cooling. By quickly lowering the temperature, metals and alloys transform their microstructure, locking in strength and wear resistance. In this article, we explore the principles and techniques of quenching, revealing how speed and precision create high-performance materials.
Normalizing is another essential heat treatment process used in metallurgy and materials engineering. In this article, we continue our Heat Treatment Series by explaining the definition, purpose, and unique features of normalizing, while also comparing it to annealing.
Annealing is one of the fundamental heat treatment processes widely used in metallurgy, materials science, and industrial manufacturing. In this Heat Treatment series, we explore the definition, purpose, types, and essential knowledge about annealing.
This guide provides laboratory researchers with a practical overview of grinding media materials, their properties, and recommended applications. ZYLAB offers a comprehensive range of ball mill jars and balls, making it easier to match the right media to your research needs.
ZYLAB was recently approached by a prestigious university in Malaysia with a specialized requirement for their laboratory and pilot-scale research work. The university needed 2 sets large-capacity 100L vacuum filters with enhanced corrosion resistance to ensure reliable performance during demanding experiments and material processing.
This guide explains how the most commonly used lab mills work, which powder types each is best suited for, and practical tradeoffs lab researchers should consider.
