What is heat treatment
A process method of heating solid metals or alloys in an appropriate manner, holding them for a certain period of time, and cooling them at a certain cooling rate to change their structure and obtain the required performance.
What is the purpose of heat treatment
By changing the internal microstructure of steel through appropriate heat treatment processes, the degree of structural transformation and the morphology of transformation products during the phase transformation process can be controlled, thereby improving the performance of the steel.
What are the conditions for heat treatment
1. There are three basic processes of heat treatment: heating, insulation, and cooling.
2. The conditions for heat treatment: (1) There is a solid phase transition; (2) Alloys with significant changes in solubility during heating.
