Cooling Methods for Forged Parts
The cooling process immediately following the forging operation is a critical but often overlooked stage in metalworking. It is not merely about bringing the part down to room temperature; it is a continuation of the heat treatment process known as controlled cooling or post-forging heat treatment. The chosen cooling method directly influences the final microstructure, mechanical properties (like […]
Heat Treatment of Different Metals
Steel This is the most commonly used metal when it comes to heat treatment. The carbon content in it can be adjusted to change how hard or tough it becomes. Different heating and cooling methods can be used to change its structure. Aluminum Alloys When applying heat treatment to aluminum, the process can be […]
