Contents:
Heat Treatment is used not only for increasing the strength of materials but also to improve machining, formability and ductility to enhance the characteristics for manufacturability. This process can be used to improve product performance by increasing the strength or altering the desirable characteristics. For exampl, steels are heat treated for harderning, softening or material modification. This reference book is intended for practising engineers- metallurgical, mechanical, mining, material science, and technical personnel working in steel plants, rolling mills, automobile manufacturing and mechanical industries.
