Heattreatment is generally referred to as heating and cooling of different metals in a controlled way in order to amend both of its mechanical and physical properties without altering the shape of the product. The process involves the material passing through chilling or heating treatments normally at extreme temperatures so that the desired result can be achieved in terms of softening or hardening of the materials. Moreover, it's done for specific purposes for intentionally changing the properties. If we talk about the process, it is often associated with enhancing the strength of the material for improving the performance of a particular product. Generally steels are a suitable substance that goes under such treatments, since it responds well to it. Common Heat Treatments: - Hardening - Softening - Material Modification Hardening is generally done in order to enhance the wear and strength properties of the metal, especially steel.
