This is snipped out of another thread, because I was going way off topic there, and this is a more appropriate thread.
Just because I've never heard of something means very little, and you are able to come up with all sorts of things I haven't heard of, so I appreciate your contributions.
Here is yet another example;
(Quote) "Annealed steel has a much higher carbide volume fraction than hardened steel..." (Unquote)
What is "carbide volume fraction", and what sort of properties do these carbides have vs. carbides in hardened steel?
Do these carbides have the same composition/hardness? Are they larger and fewer, or opposite?
Since it seems I hear things like, "carbides do the cutting", I'm hoping you know if/where carbide development is explained by Dr. Verhoeven, or is it too complicated to be described simply?
