Normalizing is a form of metal heat treatment used to refine grain structure. It is typically performed after another manufacturing process has reduced ductility. Whether you’re an experienced metalworker or a student, keep reading. This guide reveals the advantages of normalizing. Along the way, we cover key normalizing parameters and examples of normalized steel appliances. […]
Quenching is a form of heat treatment and one of our core processes at HDC Manufacturing. It involves rapidly cooling a hot metal to lock its atoms in place. Quenching transforms austenite into hard martensite, creating a material with exceptional strength. Whether you are a longtime metallurgist or newbie, read on to learn all about
As a metal fabrication factory in China, HDC Manufacturing provides CNC machining, forging, casting, and more for various project needs. While comprehensive, there are still some highly specialized processes beyond our in-house expertise. One of them is weld overlay cladding. Over the years, we have also developed strong supply chain experience in China, which allows
Can you forge stainless steel? The answer is yes. Forging alters the properties of stainless steel, resulting in applications that are stronger and highly resistant. In this article, you will discover how stainless steel is forged. We also talk about the wide uses of forged stainless steel across the world. What is Stainless Steel Stainless
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
