There are many advantages you get when heat treating metals, such as:
The process improves the mechanical properties of metals, making them last much longer under stress.
It also makes it easier to work with metals by making them softer through processes such as annealing. Hard metals also hold edges for a longer period.
Heat-treated parts have better resistance to wear and corrosion, which is important for tools exposed to acidic environments.
The process also enhances the dimensional stability of parts, which relieves internal stress and prevents the part from warping over time.
