In simple terms, heat treatment is the process of heating the metal, holding it at that temperature, and then cooling it back. During the process, the metal part will undergo changes in its mechanical properties. This is because the high temperature alters the microstructure of the metal. And...
This is the 100th column for "The Heat Treat Doctor"! So, how do we celebrate? By asking ourselves the most fundamental of questions: What is heat treating, and why do we do it? Let's learn more.Daniel H. HerringIndustrial Heating...
Annealing heat treatment is a combination of heating and cooling operations applied to an alloy or metal for obtaining the desired properties. Annealing for steel is a precise heat treatment of metal in which it is heated to a particular temperature and cooled down slowly to make it ductile and...
Laser heat treatment is a surface engineering technique that uses high-power laser beams to selectively modify metal surfaces' composition, structure, and properties. It is commonly applied to steel and cast iron materials that require enhanced wear, fatigue, and corrosion resistance. ...
<!—->Secondary Processing: Heat treating is applied to metal parts to enhance their strength and make them more durable for their application. Grinding is used to finish parts requiring high surface quality and dimension accuracy. Wire EDM: Wire electrical discharge machining shapes metal materials...
The HAZ is the area between the weld or cut and the base (unaffected), parent metal. The HAZ area can vary in severity and size depending on the properties of the materials, the concentration and intensity of the heat, and the welding or cutting process used. If you have any questions ...

is that at high frequency, the imposed magnetic field changes its direction very fast. Therefore, the induced currents in one direction do not have enough time to penetrate into the depth of the metal before their time is up. The thickness of the current penetration in the material is called...

annealing and other forms of heat treating. A high level of precision is essential for critical applications like automotive, aerospace, fiber-optics, ammunition bonding, wire hardening and tempering of spring wire. Induction heating is well suited for specialty metal applications involving titanium, pr...
