Heat Treatment

The heat treatment is an industrial process from materials engineering. During heat treatment, metallic workpieces are temporarily heated to alter and improve their properties such as strength, hardness, or other material characteristics. Heat treatment allows metallic objects to be altered to meet specific requirements and applications in various situations. In many industries like metal processing, automotive, aerospace, or tool manufacturing, heat treatment and the resulting metallic objects play a significant role. In metal processing, heat treatment is used to alter the properties of metals and alloys to achieve certain functions. The automotive industry produces components like gear parts or pistons, which become more durable through heat treatment. Tools are also heat-treated during manufacturing to enhance their durability and functionality. In this industry, you will find categories such as tempering, nitriding, laser hardening, carburizing, and more. These processes can improve various properties of metals and increase component durability and performance.
