Describe the role of heat treatment of castings, forgings and weldments.
1. Eliminate the stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction inside the casting, reduce the deformation after machining, reduce the surface hardness, and improve the machining conditions;
2. Improve its crystalline structure and enhance the formation and stability of spherical carbon crystallization; forgings are generally strength components, and most of their materials are high-strength medium carbon steel.
3. Forging shell to take annealing or quenching and tempering heat treatment, so that its mechanical properties are more superior, both better strength, and better elasticity;
4. Weldment materials are mostly low carbon steel with good weldability. The weld may be due to the large rigidity of the workpiece, fast cooling, and brittle tissue in the internal crystallization of the weld. Therefore, after welding or during welding, the weld itself is used to reasonably arrange the weld and heat treat the weld and the heat affected zone.
5. The heat treatment of welding parts is often preheated before welding, and slowly cooled with asbestos cloth after welding to achieve the purpose of annealing treatment. Its function is mainly to reduce the internal stress of the workpiece, improve the crystallization organization of the weld, reduce the formation of the martensite organization with brittle tendency, and prevent welding cracks.
