[Processing Technology Column] What are the processing methods for metal parts?

Machining, heat treatment, surface treatment! I will explain the processing methods for metal parts.

■What is machining? Machining is the process of shaping metal materials according to the specifications outlined in a design blueprint. Machining can be further classified into forming (deformation), additive processing, subtractive processing, and joining. ■What is heat treatment processing? Heat treatment processing involves modifying and improving the structure of materials using high and low temperatures. It can be broadly categorized into overall heat treatment and surface heat treatment. Overall heat treatment aims to modify the entire structure of a component and consists of two processing methods: heat treatment and special heat treatment. ■What is surface treatment? Surface treatment refers to the processing applied to the surface of components. Plating and painting are examples of surface treatment, but there are various other processing methods as well. Surface treatment includes electrochemical treatment, painting, and physical surface treatment, all of which protect components by forming a film on their surfaces. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us. *As a reference, you can view the "Simple Material: Handbook of Processing Technology from VA/VE to Machining Technology & Production Case Studies" by downloading the PDF below.
