Heat treatment of metal is an essential component of the manufacturing process. Most people are unfamiliar with the process, the reason for it, and the benefits it holds. What Is Heat Treatment? Metal heat treating is a thermal process. The process improves the material properties of metal in three different ways: Enhancing corrosion resistance Improving […]
Have you ever wondered how metal is made to be so malleable and flexible? It’s a very strong material — sturdy and reliable — and yet we see it in curved, twisted, or rounded forms. The answer to this is simple: heat treating. But what is heat treating, and how does it work? Does it […]
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 […]
