HEAT TREATMENT

Background
Heat Treatment is a core manufacturing process carried out under controlled application of
temperature and atmosphere to optimize certain physical and mechanical properties of metals/alloys.
Heat treatment is an enabling process that can improve product performance by increasing its strength
or other desirable characteristics such as machinability, formability, ductility, etc. The process of heat
treatment has a major bearing on the quality of the end product and finds a wide application in many
industries such as Automobile & Auto Components, Dies & Mould, Machine Tools, Aerospace and
General Engineering and so on.
