Solution :

Heat treatment :

- Heat treatment operation can be defined as heating a metal or alloy to various definite temperatures, holding these for the various time durations and cooling at various rates to get the desired grain structure and property in the metal or alloy.

PROCESS

FUNCTION

Normalizing

  • It produces a uniform grain structure, so that strength could be improved.
  • It removes cold and hot working stresses.

Annealing

  • It softens the material and brings about required changes in properties
    such as Machinability, Mechanical or Electrical properties.

Quenching

  • It increases the strength of the metal and increases wear resistance and
    hardenability but makes the metal brittle and of low ductility.

Tempering

  • It restores ductility and reduces hardness.
  • Increased toughness is obtained at the expense of high strength.

Case hardening

(carburizing)

  • It is a process of hardening the outer portion of the metal while the
    core remains soft and tough.
