In precision mechanics, among the processes performed on ferrous materials for the production of one of the heat treatment of precision mechanical components it is used to modify the molecular structure of the metal.
In the heat treatment the effect of heat allows the metals to enhance the characteristics depending on their use. of different treatment cycles between the heating and cooling phases can enhance the hardness and resistance capacity of the metals used in the precision mechanics.
The heat treatment of metals in precision mechanics has ancient origins that go back at least 4000 years ago when it was already used for the production of spears and knives by the high technological level. By heating a given metal in the presence of acids and chemical solvents capable of generating carbides and nitrides, to then be immersed in water and thus obtain already a primordial quenching technique.
In the mechanical precision of the quenching often it concludes the process of the heat treatment giving the component a hardness that can also be increased by a hundred times compared to the physical properties of the original metal.
Among the most used thermochemical treatments include the carboniturazione, carburizing and galvanizing, all these processes are executed directly from T.M.G. and forming an integral part of the process of realization of the components for the precision mechanics.
