Heat Treatment Problems are Flow Problems
In heat treatment processes, a metal is heated and cooled in a series of steps designed to give the material a unique set of properties. Although the primary focus is on the component undergoing heat treatment, most of the problems that arise are really a result of what’s around the component.
