Heat Treatment is a practical guide to this valuable range of workshop techniques and how to employ them safely and effectively.
Featuring step-by-step photography throughout, this book covers :
· An overview of metals and their properties
· Building a heat treatment oven for the home workshop
· A practical guide to case hardening, flame hardening and tempering
· Annealing and normalizing techniques
· Decorative finishes with colour case hardening, oil blacking and enamelling
