Heat treatment and surface treatment of metals

Select and jump to section

Overview

This competency involves optimizing heat treatment and surface treatment technologies for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Complex test methods are employed to detect the source of heat treatment problems, and proposals are made to solve these issues while also developing new heat treatment technologies through investigation of physical metallurgical, mechanical, and physical properties. Additionally, support is provided for layer addition techniques.
