When Solution Annealing Goes Wrong: Overheating, Grain Growth, and Property Loss
Heat treatment is a precision process. In solution annealing, the goal is to create a uniform microstructure, dissolve unwanted phases, and improve corrosion resistance. When the temperature is too high, the soak time is too long, or the quench is too slow, the result can be grain growth, distortion, and property loss. Understanding these failure […]
