Heat treatment (annealing, quenching, tempering) modifies crystal structure and properties through controlled heating/cooling.
Trin-for-trin guide
- 1Input initial material state and desired properties
- 2Specify heat treatment: temp, time, cooling rate
- 3Predict resulting microstructure and properties
Løste eksempler
Input
Steel: quench from 850°C (high hardness) vs. anneal (low hardness, high ductility)
Resultat
Tempering balances hardness and ductility
Almindelige fejl at undgå
- ✕Wrong temperature for material type
- ✕Not controlling cooling rate sufficiently
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
Why cool fast (quench)?
Rapid cooling prevents atomic rearrangement to equilibrium, creating harder metastable phases.
