Heat Treatment Processes
Heat treatment processes like carburizing, normalizing, hardening & tempering, and tufftriding (nitrocarburizing) are used to enhance metal properties such as hardness, wear resistance, and toughness. Carburizing adds carbon to the surface for increased hardness, while normalizing refines grain structure and reduces internal stresses. Hardening & tempering optimizes hardness and toughness, and tufftriding creates a wear-resistant surface layer. These processes are crucial for improving metal performance in various industries.
