As explained by IQS Directory in “What are the types of heat treatment processes?”, manufacturers can use different heat treatment methods to modify the properties of metals for specific performance requirements.

Processes can include annealing, normalizing, hardening, tempering, case hardening, and other specialized treatments. Each approach uses carefully controlled heating and cooling conditions to influence characteristics such as hardness, strength, ductility, toughness, and wear resistance. Selecting the appropriate treatment depends on the material and the desired properties of the finished component.
