Heat Treatment Machine

Heat treatment involves heating a metal or alloy to a specific temperature and then cooling it to harden the material. Heat treatment can be used at different stages in the manufacturing process to change certain properties of that metal or alloy.Heat treating can soften metal, to improve formability. It can make parts harder, to improve strength. It can put a hard surface on relatively soft components, to increase abrasion resistance. It can create a corrosion-resistant skin, to protect parts that would otherwise corrode.To get homogenized microstructure in the casting, component must be heated to a very high temperature, where mobility of substitutional alloying element is quite high and the homogeneous composition of austenite is obtained. The heat treatment is carried out in between 1050 and 1100 °C or higher.
