Key Features:

• Controlled Heating: Metals are heated to specific temperatures to modify their internal structure and improve the characteristics of their mechanical properties. 
• Cooling Process: After heating, the metal is cooled at a controlled rate in air, water, or oil to obtain the required hardness or toughness.
• Property Enhancement: Enhancement of hardness, strength, ductility, and wear/corrosion resistance is the key property improvement pursued through heat treatment processes.

In industries such as automobile, aeronautics, and construction, heat treatment is used to enhance the durability of gears, shafts, and engine components. Continuous developments in heat treatment contribute to the performance, efficiency, and life of metal components.
