Like any other process, heat treatment also has its limitations and issues. Whilst some relate to the process itself, a majority relate to external factors which are outside the control of a heat treater. Heat treatment involves heating parts to high temperatures followed by quick cooling. There are volumetric changes during the process, which are outside of the heat treater’s control. Other limitations or issues can range to a whole lot of variables ranging from material quality, section size, part geometry to prior
manufacturing processes which ae outside the control of heat treater. Accordingly, even though these problems or issues manifest themselves during heat treatment, we do not take responsibility for the failure and damage due to such issues, which may include distortion, cracking, low/ variable hardness etc during heat treatment or afterwards.
