Hot Rolling Process
Hot rolling is a fundamental metalworking process where metal is plastically deformed above its recrystallization temperature. This key differentiator from cold rolling allows the metal to be shaped and formed more easily with less force, resulting in significant changes to its microstructure and properties. 1. The Core Principle: Recrystallization Temperature The recrystallization temperature is the critical […]
Common Applications of Heat Treatment
Automotives A lot of heat-treated parts are used in the automotive industry for their strength. Some of these parts are: Gears Crankshafts Axles These parts needed to be heat-treated because they usually carry heavy loads. If the process is not done, the parts would wear out quickly. Aerospace Parts used in aircraft usually […]
