2. Quench polish quench - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quench_polish_quench

   Quench polish quench (QPQ) is a specialized type of nitrocarburizing case hardening that increases corrosion resistance. It is sometimes known by the brand name of Tufftride, Tenifer or Melonite. [1]

3. Heat treating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

   Heat treating furnace at 1,800 °F (980 °C) Heat treating (or heat treatment) is a group of industrial, thermal and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical.

4. Austempering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austempering

   Austempering is heat treatment that is applied to ferrous metals, most notably steel and ductile iron. In steel it produces a bainite microstructure whereas in cast irons it produces a structure of acicular ferrite and high carbon, stabilized austenite known as ausferrite. It is primarily used to improve mechanical properties or reduce ...

5. Differential heat treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_heat_treatment

   Differential heat treatment is a method used to alter the properties of various parts of a steel object differently, producing areas that are harder or softer than others. This creates greater toughness in the parts of the object where it is needed, such as the tang or spine of a sword, but produces greater hardness at the edge or other areas ...

6. Quenching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quenching

   A type of heat treating, quenching prevents undesired low-temperature processes, such as phase transformations, from occurring. It does this by reducing the window of time during which these undesired reactions are both thermodynamically favorable and kinetically accessible; for instance, quenching can reduce the crystal grain size of both ...

7. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

   For high volume process annealing, gas fired conveyor furnaces are often used. For large workpieces or high quantity parts, car-bottom furnaces are used so workers can easily move the parts in and out. Once the annealing process is successfully completed, workpieces are sometimes left in the oven so the parts cool in a controllable way.
