Improved tensile strength and hardness in the localised area when a metal is cold worked
Work hardening
1 of 11
Heating work hardened metal and very slowly cooling it, making it easier to work by making it less brittle and more ductile
Annealing
2 of 11
A process for hardening the surface of steels with less than 0.4 percent carbon content
Case hardening
3 of 11
Changes the chemical composition of the surface of low carbon steel so it absorbs more carbon and increase surface hardness
Carbursing
4 of 11
Rapid cooling of a heat treated metal
Quenching
5 of 11
Heating medium or high carbon steels to a given temperature, rapidly cooling via quenching, then heating to a set temperature to remove excess hardness
Hardening and tempering
6 of 11
The colour seen on metal that indicates the temperature at which brittleness is removes
Tempering colour
7 of 11
The temperature at which the atoms of carbon and steel mix freely before bonding together to become a solid
Critical point
8 of 11
Thermoset polymer powder is positively charged and attracted to the negatively charged product. It is then baked to melt the powder and given an even coating
Powder coating
9 of 11
Using metal to coat a base metal
Electroplating
10 of 11
Commonly used for aluminium to enhance the natural oxide layer, resulting in increased hardness and toughness
Anodising
