heat treatment

The process of heat treatment involves the use of heating or cooling a versatile range of materials. Harchris Heat Treatment simplifies the operational aspects of the heat treatment techniques. Cold forming operations includes the process of forging metals at near room temperatures. The cold forming process is formed at high speed and high pressure. The … Read more

The Difference Between Stress Relaxation & Creep In A Structure

by
heat

The stress relaxation and creep in a structure varies according to structural strength and foundation requirements. The differences between the polar opposite building structure are that the stress relaxation varies under a specific time constraint. Creep is a concept which measures the increase in strain with a constant level of stress. Stress relieving creates a … Read more

The Reason Metals Need To Be Hardened And Tempered For Higher Quality

by
heat-forged

Hardened & Tempered For Higher Quality Metals need to be hardened for an improvement in their mechanical properties, as well as an increase in the level of hardness, producing a tougher, sturdier item. Alloys are heated above the critical transformation temperature for the material, then cooled rapidly enough to cause the soft initial material to transform to a much … Read more

What Happens During The Annealing Process?

by
heat-forging

Annealing in metallurgy and material science is a heating treatment that modifies the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness. In the annealing process, atoms migrate in the crystal lattice and the number of dislocations decreases, leading to a change in ductility and hardness. This process … Read more
