What is the role of thermal processing in industry? Tangshan thermal processing company will take you to understand

Thermal processing is a processing method commonly used in industrial production to increase the plasticity of metal materials by heating them, so as to change the shape and process them. There are many roles of thermal processing in industry, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Reduce the strength and hardness of the material: Through heat treatment, the strength and hardness of the metal material can be reduced, making it easier to change the shape and process. This is important for workpieces that need to be machined with complex shapes.

2. Improve the plasticity and toughness of materials: Through thermal processing, the plasticity and toughness of metal materials can be improved, making it easier to carry out processing processes such as stretching, extrusion, and bending, so as to improve processing efficiency and product quality.

3. Eliminate residual stress: In the process of metal material processing, residual stress is often generated, and if these stresses cannot be eliminated in time, it will lead to deformation, damage and even failure of the workpiece. Residual stress can be effectively eliminated through heat treatment, and the stability and service life of the workpiece can be improved.
4. Improve the microstructure of the material: Thermal processing can control the grain structure of the metal material, thereby improving the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the material. By controlling the heat treatment parameters, the grain size of the material can be made smaller, and the strength and hardness of the material can be improved.
5. Adjust the properties of materials: The properties of metal materials can be changed through heat treatment to make them have different mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, etc., so as to meet the needs of different industrial fields.
In general, thermal processing plays a very important role in industrial production, which can improve the processing performance of materials, improve product quality, and increase the service life of workpieces, so it has been widely used and valued. In the future industrial production, thermal processing technology will continue to play an important role to promote the progress and development of industrial production.
