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 experience a lot of heat and pressure. Heat treatment is used to make parts, like:
Blades
Landing gear
Aircraft frames
Tooling
Heat treatment is also important when making various kinds of work tools. These include:
Drill bits
Dies
Molds
These parts need to maintain hardness without being brittle. You can achieve this process through controlled heating and cooling methods.
Consumer goods
Most of the items we use daily also need proper strength and shape control. Heat treatment is used for items such as:
Knives
Springs
Screws
