Annealing

- Heating a metal to a high temperature and then cooling it slowly to soften it and improve its machinability.

Normalizing

- Heating a metal to a high temperature and then cooling it in still air to refine its grain structure and improve its strength and toughness.

Hardening

- Heating a metal to a high temperature and then quenching it rapidly in water, oil, or another medium to increase its hardness and strength.

Tempering

- Heating a hardened metal to a lower temperature and then holding it for a period of time to reduce its brittleness and improve its toughness.

Case Hardening

- Diffusing a hardening element into the surface of a metal to create a hard outer layer while leaving the core soft and tough.

Nitriding

- Diffusing nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a hard and corrosion-resistant surface.

Carburizing

- Diffusing carbon into the surface of a low-carbon steel to increase its hardness and strength.

Quenching

- Rapidly cooling a heated metal by immersing it in a liquid or gas to harden it.

Stress Relieving

- Heating a metal to a low temperature and then cooling it slowly to relieve internal stresses and improve its dimensional stability.

Induction Hardening

- Using an electric current to induce heat in the surface of a metal to harden it while the core remains soft.

Laser Hardening

- Using a laser to rapidly heat a specific area of a metal to harden it.
