What is it?
A material processing process that primarily affects the microstructure and material properties of alloys. The part is heated and cooled in a controlled manner
in a protected atmosphere in a furnace. Heat treatment takes place at defined temperatures and times.
What is it used for?
Heat treatment is the basic technological treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in order to modify mechanical and material properties such as strength, ductility, elasticity, microstructure, etc.
Main advantages
- Improvement of mechanical properties
- Stabilization of AM parts
- Reduction of internal stress of AM parts
