What is Protective Atmosphere Normalizing in Heat Treatment?

12 October 2020

Metals typically undergo various heat treatment processes to alter their overall properties and characteristics. Generally, heat treatment is a group of industrial, thermal, or metalworking processes that are utilised to change the physical or chemical properties of a material. Aside from metals, other materials like glass can also maximise the […]

Vacuum Heat Treating and Its Material Advantages

31 August 2020

Heat is typically required to change the formation and appearance of metals. However, as these heated metals react with air, the said interaction would manifest numerous unwanted changes to the materials such as discolouration, scale, or contamination. The effects of the interaction with air are brought by the oxidation process, […]
