Reasons for Heat Treating
- Remove stresses, such as those developed in processing or manufacturing
- Refine the grain structure of the metal
- Improves the economical grade of metal to use in place of something more expensive
- Increase tensile, toughness, strength and ductility
- Improves machineability and weldability
- Improves wear performance
- Improves the cutting properties of tool steels
- Improves corrosion resistance in stainless materials
- Change or modify magnetic properties
