5 Questions
What is heat treating?
Heat treating is a group of industrial, thermal and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material.
What are some common applications of heat treatment?
The most common application of heat treatment is metallurgical. It is also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass.
What are some techniques used in heat treatment?
Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, carburizing, normalizing and quenching.
When does heat treatment apply?
Heat treatment applies only to processes where the heating and cooling are done for the specific purpose of altering properties intentionally.
What are metallic materials composed of?
Metallic materials consist of a microstructure of small crystals called grains.
