Notably, you must examine each material to select the correct heat treatment method to yield the required properties. This is because not all metal materials are suitable for all heat treatment types.

You’ll find that ferrous metals account for the majority of heat-treated materials. So, different steel grades constitute about 80% of heat-treated metals. Even so, some non-ferrous materials are also suitable for heat treatment.

As such, metal alloys such as copper, aluminum, nickel, brass, magnesium, and titanium get heat treated. Below are some of the metals available for heat treatment and the suitable heat treatment types:

1. Cast Iron, Carbon Steel, Martensitic Stainless Steel, and Tool Steel

Heat treatment methods – Hardening, Annealing, Normalizing, Stress Relieving, Case Hardening, Nitriding, and Tempering.

2. Copper and Copper Alloys

Heat treatment methods – Annealing, Ageing, and Quenching.

3. Aluminum

Heat treatment methods – Annealing, Solution heat treatment, Natural and Artificial Ageing. 热处理展-工业炉展-2024第二十四届广州国际热处理、工业炉展览会-巨浪展览—The 24th China(Guangzhou)Int’l Heat Treatment, Industrial Furnace Exhibition 2024工业炉展，2024工业炉展会，2024工业炉展览会，2024热处理展，2024热处理展会，2024热处理展览会，2024广州工业炉展，2024广州工业炉展会，2024广州热处理展，2024广州热处理展会，广东热处理展，中国热处理展会，广东工业炉展，中国工业炉展会，2024耐火材料展会，2024热处理设备展，2024热处理博览会，2024工业炉博览会-heat treatment Industry Exhibition,heat treatment expo, 2024 heat treatment exhibition, 2024 heat treatment expo, China heat treatment exhibition, China heat treatment expo,heat treatment Industry event,heat treatment event, 2024 heat treatment event,heat treatment event 2024, China heat treatment event, China heat treatment event,furnace Industry Exhibition,furnace expo, 2024 furnace exhibition, 2024 furnace expo, China furnace exhibition, China furnace expo,furnace Industry event,furnace event, 2024 furnace event,furnace event 2024, China furnace event, China furnace event
