Microstructure Control & Heat Treatment

Engineering multi-phase microstructures for application-specific properties

  • Heat treatment
  • Microstructure
  • Phase engineering
Heat-treated metal billet glowing from hot to cool beside a gear and shaft, with a strip of micrographs showing the microstructure evolving through heat treatment.

Overview

Optimisation of multi-phase microstructure to obtain a suitable volume fraction, morphology and distribution of different phases through heat treatment. The engineered microstructure imparts one — or a combination — of strength, ductility, wear resistance and other properties as required by the application.
