THE HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS
The heat treatments process consists of thermal heating cycles, carried out in predetermined conditions and temperatures,
to which cooling (of varying speeds) must follow, which have the purpose of making the steel assume a crystalline structure that gives it certain
mechanical characteristics.
There are different types of heat treatments such as: annealing, normalization, distension, tempering, reclamation.
Each of these treatments is performed according to the need and the use that will be operationally required of the part.
The phases that make up the heat treatments are:
heating
temperature maintenance
cooling down
