Heat treatment is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve the desired result such as hardening or softening of a material.
Heat treatment techniques include Annealing, Case Hardening, Precipitation Strengthening, Tempering, Normalizing and Quenching, Ageing, Cold and Cryogenic Treating, Decarburization
