After covering concrete and wood in previous episodes, I’m sure it is no surprise that we are talking about steel! Steel is a versatile material used extensively in our structures today. Find out why engineers (us) love steel as we talk about its wide ranging benefits...ductility, stiffness, machinability. We of course balance that with its weaknesses…corrosion, fatigue, buckling.

If you can get through our attempts at describing steel’s microstructure and phase changes during heat treatment… we see you, we appreciate you! And we hope you come back for part 2 because we did what we do best, nattering.
