Heat Treatment topics include: Annealing, normalising and quenching, transformation diagrams, hardening and hardenability, tempering, interrupted quenching, carburising, nitriding, selective hardening, cyaniding and carbonitriding. Heat treatment is a controlled process used to alter the microstructure of metals and alloys such as steel and aluminium to impart properties which benefit the working life of a component, for example increased surface hardness, temperature resistance, ductility and strength.

Here are some heat treatment methods for metals: Quenching: A process that rapidly cools metal Isothermal annealing: A process that reduces the hardness of material, removes tensions from hot and cold plastic processing, and homogenizes the metallographic structure Precipitation hardening: A process that increases the hardness and strength of certain types of alloys Hardening and tempering: A process that involves heating metal at high temperatures and then rapidly cooling it to make it brittle, and then reheating it at lower temperatures to temper it Induction hardening: A process that involves subjecting a metal part to induction heating and quenching, and then martensitic formation Cryogenic treatment: A process that supplements conventional heat treatment, and helps increase the stress relieving properties of metal parts and tooling Stress relief annealing: A process that involves heating the metal to a specific temperature and then cooling it slowly to soften the metal, and reduce internal stresses Carbon steel normalizing: A process that gives steel an even, fine-grained structure with homogeneous properties Other heat treatment methods for metals include: Cooling Induction hardening Cryogenic treatment Stress relief annealing Show less
