What is heat treatment, and why do we heat work pieces?

The process of changing the internal structure (or chemical composition of the surface at the same time) of a metal part through a process of heating, insulating, and cooling to obtain the desired properties is called heat treatment.Many machine parts and engineering components undergo various heat treatments.

1. So that the workpiece to obtain a good process, in order to be able to smoothly carry out a variety of processing.

2. Endow the workpiece with the mechanical properties (or physical and chemical properties) required by the design so that it can work normally, and improve the service life, reduce the cost, in order to obtain good economic results.
