lämpömuokkausta
Lämpömuokkaus, also known as heat treatment, is a controlled process used to alter the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material. The primary goal of heat treatment is to improve the material's performance in a specific application by modifying its microstructure. This is typically achieved by heating the material to a specific temperature, holding it there for a predetermined duration, and then cooling it at a controlled rate.
The fundamental principle behind heat treatment lies in the temperature-dependent changes in a material's crystal structure.
Common heat treatment processes include annealing, which softens the material and relieves internal stresses; hardening, which
