Tempering in Heat Treatment: An Overview
Tempering is a critical heat treatment process used to improve the mechanical properties of hardened metals (typically steels) by reducing brittleness, relieving internal stresses, and enhancing toughness. It follows quenching, which hardens the material but leaves it overly brittle and prone to cracking. Below is a detailed breakdown of the tempering process: 1. Key Objectives of Tempering […]
Materials Used in CNC Machining
From hard steel to relatively soft plastics, CNC technology’s machining capabilities cover a wide range of common materials: 1. Aluminum alloy Such as 6061 and 7075, are commonly used materials, with a density of 2.7-2.8g/cm³, very light, only about 40% of steel. High strength, but poor fatigue resistance and high temperature resistance, usually used in […]
