Mechanical Engineering

Classification of heat treatments - Definition of heat treatment methods used in the technique, purpose of application and application procedures - Stress relief; Diffusion annealing; Soft annealing; Normalizing annealing - Pearlitization annealing Recrystallization; Coarse grain annealing - Time Temperature Transformation Diagrams (Isothermal and Continuous) - Martensitic and Bainitic Transformation in iron-based alloys - Tempering, Tempering - Definition of the concept of hardenability, its technological importance and effects of alloying elements - Surface treatments of steel: Flame and induction surface hardening: Cementation, Nitriding, Carbonitriding, Boriding - Precipitation hardening mechanism - Technological importance of precipitation hardening in Al alloys - Types of tool steels and expectations from tool steels - Heat treatment of tool steels - Heat treatments applied to cast irons - Heat treatments applied to non-ferrous metals

The aim of the basic heat treatment methods is to make the sub-structure that will provide the usage in the engineering applications by teaching the form and effect mechanisms of application and development of the heat treatment of current and future materials.
