What is Heat Treatment and How Does It Improve CNC-Machined Parts?

What is Heat Treatment and How Does It Improve CNC-Machined Parts?

GuideHeat treatment is a controlled process of heating and cooling metals or alloys to alter their physical and mechanical properties without changing their shape. This metallurgical technique has been used for centuries to enhance material performance, and it plays a critical role in modern manufacturing—especially in improving the quality and durability of CNC-machined parts.
