Development of materials in shipbuilding: from wood to composites
Initially, wooden ships were built being lightweight, fairly strong, and made of readily available material. However, they were limited in size and could not compete with steel ships that appeared later in the 19th century. Steel ships were much stronger and could be built larger, allowing them to carry more crew, passengers and cargo. However, steel...

Heat treatment is the process of high-temperature workup of starting materials and products to change their structure and properties in a desired direction. The process involves heating at a specified rate to a certain temperature, holding at that temperature for a certain time, and then cooling at a specified rate. The original shape of the working metal is preserved.
If you are interested in the nuances of this...
