Whether it’s an engine component, aircraft part or even a bicycle frame, if it’s steel, it’s probably been heat treated and quenched. The quench and temper process, which includes austenitizing, quenching and tempering, is critical to ensure that each steel part has the exact properties needed to survive its environment while maintaining strength and durability. If you’re in an industry that requires careful control of mechanical properties (such as strength, elongation and toughness), then you can benefit from Q&T heat treatments:
- Structural sections
- Boiler and heater tube
- Transportation (automotive, aerospace, aircraft)
- Nuclear
- Food service
- Water wells
- Sporting goods (golf clubs, bicycle frames, etc.)
In this webinar, created by Thermatool, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the quench and temper heat treatment process and find out how the design of the Q&T process itself affects the final product performance.
