There are basically 4 patterns! The heat treatment method varies depending on the purpose of the product and the characteristics of the materials.
I would like to introduce the "types of heat treatment." The basics of heat treatment consist of four patterns: "quenching," "tempering," "normalizing," and "annealing." Each method adjusts the metal structure through heating and cooling to achieve the desired properties. There are also various methods with different names. 【Types of Heat Treatment】 ■ Normalizing, Annealing ■ Quenching, Tempering, Sub-zero (deep cooling treatment) ■ Stress Relief ■ Solution Treatment/Precipitation Hardening ■ Carburizing, Nitriding *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
