Nodular cast irons (or ductile, or spheroidal graphite iron) are primarily heat treated to create matrix microstructures and associated mechanical properties not readily obtained in the as-cast condition ...

Titanium and titanium alloys are heat treated in order to: 路 Reduce residual stresses developed during fabrication (stress relieving) 路 Produce an optimum combination of ductility...

Magnesium alloys usually are heat treated either to improve mechanical properties or as means of conditioning for specific fabricating operations. The type of heat treatment selected depends...

In heat treating of tin-rich alloys, it is difficult to secure an effective and permanent degree of hardening. Tin melts at 232掳C (505 K), and therefore room temperature (about 295 K) is well over...

Heat treating processes for aluminum are precision processes. They must be carried out in furnaces properly designed and built to provide the thermal conditions required, and adequately...

Copper and copper alloys may be heat treated for several purposes, described in this article. Homogenizing Homogenizing is applied to dissolve and absorb segregation...

The usual objective of austenitizing is to produce an austenitic matrix with as uniform carbon content as possible prior to thermal processing. For a typical hypereutectic ductile cast iron ...

Ferritic and pearlitic malleable irons are both produced by annealing white iron of controlled composition. Malleable irons have largely been replaced by ductile iron in ...

The high-alloy white irons are primarily used for abrasion-resistant applications and are readily cast in the shapes needed in machinery used for crushing, grinding, and general ...

High-alloy cast irons are an important group of materials whose production should be considered separately from that of the ordinary types of cast irons. In these cast iron alloys ...
