Heat tretament means that materials are heated, insulated and cooled in solid state to obtain the expeceted structure and mechanical properties.
Heat treating can soften metal, to improve formability. It can make parts harder, to improve strength. Heat treating can improve wear resistance by hardening the material. Metals (including steel, titanium, inconel, and some copper alloys) can be hardened either on the surface (case hardening) or all the way through (through hardening), to make the material stronger, tougher, more durable and more resistant to wear.
