Interpreting Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) curves for metal alloys requires ensuring that the curves are generated correctly. The quality of the curves can significantly impact the accuracy of the interpretation. Users should verify the experimental setup and parameters used in the DSC analysis. Properly constructed curves will provide insights into phase transitions and thermal properties of the alloys. Accurate interpretation hinges on both the quality of the data and the understanding of the alloy compositions involved.

I have now idea how can I interpret these DSC curves (they are curves of metal alloys with different composition). But the first question is: are they made properly?

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
