The Impact of Heat Treatment on the Performance of Keensert

1. Enhancing Mechanical Properties

• Increasing Strength: Heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering can significantly improve the tensile and yield strength of Keenserts. For example, the tensile strength of carbon steel keenserts typically ranges from 400MPa to 900MPa, depending on the carbon content and heat treatment process.
• Improving Hardness: Heat treatment can increase the hardness of keenserts, making them more wear-resistant and less prone to wear and deformation during use. For example, the hardness of carbon steel keenserts typically ranges from HRC20 to HRC50, depending on the heat treatment process.

2. Improving Toughness

• Preventing Cracks and Deformation: Tempering treatment can reduce the brittleness of keenserts and improve their toughness, reducing the likelihood of cracks and deformation caused by impact or vibration during use.

3. Enhancing Wear Resistance

• Extending Service Life: Heat-treated keenserts have better wear resistance and can maintain stable performance under high load and stress conditions, thus extending their service life.

4. Improving Corrosion Resistance

• Enhancing Anti-corrosion Ability: Heat treatment can form a dense oxide film on the surface of keenserts, improving their corrosion resistance and allowing them to maintain good performance in humid or corrosive environments.

5. Ensuring Dimensional Stability

• Maintaining Precision: Heat treatment can eliminate internal stresses generated during the machining process of keenserts, ensuring dimensional stability and maintaining high precision during use.
