Case hardening is a heat treatment process through which the surface of a metal is hardened while maintaining a softer core at the same time.| Fractory
Carburising is a heat treatment process that improves mechanical properties such as hardness by adding carbon to a metal’s surface.| Fractory
Tempering is a heat treatment process in which ferrous alloys are heated to a set point below its lower critical temperature. Tempering increases toughness, reduces brittleness and alters many other mechanical properties of metals.| Fractory
Quenching is performed to obtain certain mechanical properties in metals by rapidly cooling the workpieces in water, oil, polymer or air.| Fractory
Heat treatment allows to change the properties of metal by manipulating it with heating and cooling. Learn more about the different methods.| Fractory
Annealing changes the material's properties to make it more ductile and less hard, reducing internal stresses & making it easier to work with.| Fractory
