HEAT TREATING 101<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Heat Treating involves heating and cooling a solid metal or alloy in such a way as to result in desired conditions or properties. Typically the end result is hardening the metal, but that isn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n

Reasons for heat treating can include the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Removing stresses such as those that typically developed in the initial machining of a part<\/li>\n
  • Refine the grain structure of the steel used in a part<\/li>\n
  • Add wear resistance to the surface of a part by increasing its hardness, and, at the same time, increase its resistance to impacts by maintaining a softer, more ductile core<\/li>\n
  • Enhance the properties of an economical grade of steel, making it possible to replace a more expensive material to reduce costs in a given application<\/li>\n
  • Increase toughness by providing a combination of high tensile strength and good ductility to enhance impact strength<\/li>\n
  • Improve the cutting properties of tool steels<\/li>\n
  • Enhance electrical properties<\/li>\n
  • Alter magnetic properties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
