In the 3D printing alloy heat treatment industry, the treatment of materials such as 304/316L stainless steel and titanium alloys is particularly important. These alloys typically undergo a series of heat treatment processes to tailor their microstructure and mechanical properties to meet specific engineering requirements.
For 304/316L stainless steel, heat treatment processes include solution treatment, aging treatment and annealing to enhance its corrosion resistance, strength and hardness. Titanium alloys often require solution treatment, quenching and tempering to improve their strength, wear resistance and oxidation resistance.
