Understanding The Different Types of Heat Treatment: Hardening, Tempering, and Annealing

Heat treatment is a cornerstone of metalworking, altering the properties of metals and alloys to meet specific performance needs. By precisely controlling heating and cooling processes, metals can become stronger, more ductile, or better suited for machining. Whether you’re manufacturing automotive parts, aerospace components, or industrial tools, understanding the different major types of heat treatment—hardening, […]
