Heat-treated steel plates are generally applied for changing the mechanical as well as physical features of the steel without altering the shape of the steel. These steel plates are made up of that type of steel that has resisted a scaling temperature of 500°C.
This heat-treated process is helpful in increasing and improving hardness, ductility, elasticity, and toughness of the steel. Heat treating processes are of four types such as annealing, tempering, normalizing, and quenching. They are widely used in energy & power, construction, industrial machinery, automotive & defense vehicles, & shipbuilding. However, there is some limitation to heat treatment processes and volatile raw material prices might hamper the growth of the market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
