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...
Annealingis a form of heat treatment that brings a metal closer to its equilibrium state. It softens metal, making it more workable and providing for greater ductility. In this process, the metal is heated above its upper critical temperature to change its microstructure. Afterward, the metal is...
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. ...
Normalizing heat treatment is a process applied to ferrous materials. The objective of the normalizing heat treatment is to enhance the mechanical properties of the material by refining the microstructure. The ferrous metal is heated to the austenite phase, above the transformation range, and is subs...
This is the same process they used to use at a blacksmith. They would heat the metal over and over and then cool it in water to build up strength. Of course there are some craftspeople who still make things in this way. And in countries without industrial means of making common objects...
During the welding process when the metals are joined together, hardening occurs in different degrees based on the carbon content in metals, specifically in the heat-affected zone near the weld metal deposit. The resultant residual stresses in the structure increase substantially due to solidification...
This technology is common for the fabrication process of automobile parts. Scalability of waterjet machines makes them usable for large-scale structures in the marine industry. Metal Joining Process Joining is a metalworking process of merging two workpieces together using heat techniques. Joining process...
An integral step in CNC machining metal parts, heat treatment is the process of controlled heating and cooling of a material to achieve desired material properties. It alters four of the main material properties of metal parts, which are hardness, strength, toughness and ductility. Of course, ...

Aluminum is considered beneficial for electrical device managers. It is a great metal to be used in the construction of critical power cooling systems. Improvement in extrusion profile technology has made it possible to engineer heat sinks which call for a blend of greater strength and lighter weig...
