Heat treatment

Heat treatment

An essential step in manufacturing metal constructions and equipment is the heat treatment process. During heat treatment, the material is heated up and cooled down, using predefined methods to achieve the desired mechanical properties like metallurgical structure, hardness, toughness, strength, etc. This is necessary to reduce residual stresses and to improve corrosion resistance and machinability.

There are many materials, and just as many heat treatment processes. It is essential that the correct heat treatment procedures are followed to ensure the metal meets the specified requirements.
