What is heat treatment?
Heat treatment combines the industrial and metalwork processes to alter the physical and chemical properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacturing of many other materials, such as glass. It involves the use of extreme temperatures for hardening or softening a material. The process includes annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering and quenching. For more information, call WSB Blasting Ltd today!
