What is Heat Treating Used For?

Heat treating can improve wear resistance by hardening the material. Metals (including steel, titanium, inconel, and some copper alloys) can be hardened either on the surface (case hardening) or all the way through (through hardening), to make the material stronger, tougher, more durable and more resistant to wear.

Heat Treatment: Principles and Purpose Heat treatment is a process that involves controlled heating and cooling of materials, typically metals, to alter their internal structure and achieve desired properties. Principles of Heat Treatment Microstructure Matters : Metals are composed of tiny crystals called grains. Heat treatment influences the size, shape, and organization of these grains, which significantly impacts the material’s behavior. Heating Up Change : Heating the metal to specific temperatures increases the energy of atoms, causing them to rearrange. This can dissolve elements within the metal or allow formation of new compounds. Cooling Controls : The cooling rate after heating significantly affects the final structure. Slow cooling leads to larger grains, while rapid cooling preserves the high-temperature arrangement, often resulting in a harder material. Purposes of Heat Treatment Strength and Hardness : Heat treatment can significantly enhance a metal’s strength and hardn...

What are heat treatment services?  Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve the desired result such as hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, carburizing, normalizing and quenching.
