Heat treatment is a process used to alter the physical, chemical, or mechanical properties of a material.
It is often used in CNC Surface Finishing to improve the strength and durability of the material.
The process involves heating the material to a specific temperature for a certain amount of time and then cooling it rapidly.
Materials For Heat Treatment
Steel
Steel is a strong, versatile, and durable alloy of iron and carbon. Its applications range from construction materials and structural components to automotive and aerospace components.
Steel is strong and durable High tensile strength Corrosion resistance Heat and fire resistance Easily molded and formed.

Tolerances
Machining tolerances depend on the detailed material used.
Max part size
The maximum size of the part is determined by the machines available and the complexity of the part.
Min part size
The minimum size of the part is determined by the machines available and the complexity of the part.
Design Considerations
- Temperature: Proper temperature selection is essential to ensure that the desired heat treatment results are achieved.
- Time: The duration of the heat treatment process is an important factor.
- Pressure: In some cases, the pressure of the heated part or material being treated may need to be controlled.
