A Brief Discussion about Vacuum Heat Treating Services
Air from our environment has various elements that can easily react with metals and cause undesirable results. Under room temperature, the moisture, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen that are present in the atmosphere can each cause small but varying reactions with metals. Most of the time, however, these reactions can accelerate drastically if the metals […]
What is Protective Atmosphere Normalizing in Heat Treatment?
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 benefits of different heat treatment […]
The Stages of Heat Treatment
Different manufacturing industries maximise all the features that can be found on metals. For one, almost all metals can be easily fabricated into any shape, size, or design. Some of them can also withstand intense heat, pressure, force, corrosion, and other damaging elements on their surroundings. Their durability and longevity make them suitable for a […]
Causes and Effects of Distortion in Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is a type of metalworking process that is utilised to change and alter the physical and even the chemical properties of a specific metal material. This process typically deals with heating or chilling material to extreme temperatures so that the same material can be either hardened or softened. Numerous factors such as strength, […]
Vacuum Heat Treating and Its Material Advantages
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, which should be avoided to […]
Nitrocarburizing vs. Carbonitriding: What are the Differences?
Most heat treatment companies would apply case hardening procedures to a workpiece so that its surface will become harder. Case hardening refers primarily to the process of hardening or coating the surface of a metal workpiece with a thin layer of harder metal while subsequently allowing the base material of the same workpiece to remain […]
What are Some of the Causes of Quench Cracking in Steel?
It is significant for heat treatments to comprehend the systems related with quench cracking and to make every single judicious step important to maintain a strategic distance from in-administration item disappointments. To achieve this errand manufacturing engineers plan on materials choice, manufacturing strategies (including heat treatment) and wellbeing remittances. One of the initial phases in […]
Understanding Cold Working and Annealing
All in all terms, cold working is the disfigurement that happens under conditions where recuperation forms are not successful. Then again, hot working is twisting under states of temperature and strain rate to such an extent that recuperation forms happen at the same time with the deformation. There are basic changes that happen during cold […]
Heat Treatment Process Used for Castings
It is highly essential to use heat treatment process to change the physical and chemical properties of cast alloy depending on how it will be used. As it undergoes a heat treatment process, most of its mechanical properties be it ferrous or non-ferrous in nature will be observed through their microstructure. The heat treatment process […]
Troubleshooting Nitriding Process Problems – Part 2
The nitriding process improves the life expectancy of machine parts, so reducing the consumption of steel and energy and, as a result, the cost of the entire manufacturing process. For this reason, it may be considered both economically and ecologically beneficial. Economical and ecological advantages will at the same time characterise a process in which […]
