Heat treatment operations are intended to modify the characteristics of metallic
materials on surface or in depth.
Introduction to Heat Treatment
• Hardness
• Toughness
• Breaking strength
• Resilience
• Ductility
• Tribological properties (friction)
• Corrosion resistance
• Magnetic properties
• Dimensional stability
• Yied strength
A heat treatment operation is to subject the material to a thermal cycle including :
Influences & Effects
Holding at temperature.
Cooling to a certain speed.
Heating at required speed.
