What is heat treatment of alloys? The heat treatment of alloys is a process in which the metal is heated to a specific temperature and then cooled to change its properties. The heat treatment of alloys can be used to improve the metal’s flexibility, hardness, strength, and toughness. There are four main types of heat […]
Heat treating is defined as the controlled heating and cooling of metals. From making the metals softer and easier to work with to improving their strength, we use heat treatment for a variety of different purposes. One of the main reasons we perform heat treating is to reduce steel fatigue life to ensure machinery lasts […]
Heat treatment is an important part of metal manufacturing. It’s a process that allows for various enhancements to be made to metal to help it better hold up to ongoing wear and tear and other types of deterioration. Heat treatment can occur in various stages of the manufacturing process to change some of the metal’s […]
Heat treatment always involves heating and cooling metals. However, there’s more to it than that, and in fact there are three stages of heat treatment that any metal must go through for the process to be considered complete. Here’s an overview of those three stages of heat treatment. Heating The first stage is the heating […]
Auto part heat treating is crucial to automotive manufacturing. Heat treating automotive parts gives various components the qualities they need to deliver strength and safety. Consider the following parts and how heat treating is used to make them solid and reliable. Gears Auto part heat treating is used to produce optimal case depth for gears. […]
