Heat treatment (annealing, quenching, tempering) modifies crystal structure and properties through controlled heating/cooling.

  1. 1Input initial material state and desired properties
  2. 2Specify heat treatment: temp, time, cooling rate
  3. 3Predict resulting microstructure and properties

Worked Examples

Инпут
Steel: quench from 850°C (high hardness) vs. anneal (low hardness, high ductility)
Резултат
Tempering balances hardness and ductility

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wrong temperature for material type
  • Not controlling cooling rate sufficiently

Frequently Asked Questions

Why cool fast (quench)?

Rapid cooling prevents atomic rearrangement to equilibrium, creating harder metastable phases.
