Fundamentals of heat treating Part 2--Nonferrous alloys.

Many nonferrous metals can be heat treated, although none tender the heat treating flexibility of carburet of iron This article will examine the various processe for heat treating public nonferrous metals including alloys of aluminum, magnesium, and cent
The heat treating Processe for nonferrous metals differ from those for ferrous metals, although there are a certain number of similarities. For instance, a phase change is necessary and, because a unpolluted metal cannot be heat treated, an alloying ultimate part must be present that will precipitate in various forms or phases (similar to carbon in steel)
