Free Ebook: Heat Treatment Processes for Metalcasting and CNC Machining

The latest resource from the Eagle Group provides a comprehensive introduction to heat treatment in metalcasting and CNC machining.

This 40-page guide is available as a free download and is designed for manufacturing professionals, purchasers and engineers looking to deepen their understanding of heat treatment. It explores the role of heat treatment in enhancing the quality of cast and machined steel parts, ultimately helping purchasers procure the highest possible quality steel parts.

The ebook begins with an exploration of the fundamentals of heat treatment and its importance for metalcasting and CNC machining. It then delves into the most essential heat treatment processes used in foundries and machine shops worldwide: normalizing, hardening, quenching, annealing, tempering, and stress relief.

Following an introduction to heat treatment for cast parts, each individual chapter focuses on a specific heat treatment process. The ebook provides a detailed overview of each method, its benefits, the science behind the method, its effects and characteristics, and how multiple heat treatment interactions can be complementary or sequential to achieve the desired combination of properties.
