Description
Summary:The use of metals in this present age has increased greatly, the metals that were used in the past in different industries such as the automobile or construction industry were metals that are heavy and expensive but there's been a rapid shift from that to lightweight metals that are less expensive and also have super strength due to the increased material properties such as ductility, hardness, wear resistance etc. Increasing the properties of metal is achievable by subjecting it to heat treatment, which helps in obtaining desirable properties. Quenching is known to be rapid cooling process for heated metals and it has significant effects on mechanical property, phase crystals location and structural analysis. This overview revealed the significant index control in heat treatment of a metal.
