FONDAZIONE ALDINI VALERIANI – PROTERMGROUP Material Selection Criteria for Heat Treatment

The in-depth study focuses on the material selection criteria for heat treatment, exploring various aspects related to quality management and continuous improvement through the Kaizen/PDCA approach.

The discussion specifically addresses the issue of distortions in heat-treated parts, examining the factors that influence such distortions and how to mitigate them through careful design, material selection, and heat treatment process.

Considerable attention is given to carburizing and nitriding techniques, comparing the two methods and analyzing the metallurgical and mechanical characteristics that can be achieved. The strategies to optimize properties such as surface hardness and fatigue resistance are highlighted, emphasizing sound engineering practices and the appropriate selection of steels and specific heat treatments.
