Tempering is performed after quenching, which is one of our core processes at HDC Manufacturing. This method of heat treatment changes the mechanical properties of a metal, improving hardness and strength, while relieving internal stress. Tempering also ensures the product does not damage under pressure and that it is ready for long-term performance in industries […]
Annealing is usually done after casting, which is one of our core services at HDC Manufacturing. It reduces hardness, improves ductility, and also relieves internal stress in the metal. This ensures the product is ready for long-term performance in various demanding applications. What is Annealing? Annealing is a heat treatment process that is used to
The process of heat treatment changes how a metal acts. It improves traits like hardness, strength, and flexibility to help the parts last longer and be more efficient. This process proves to be very useful in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and toolmaking. What Is Heat Treatment? Heat treatment is a method of changing
