“How hard do my metal parts need to be?”

Planes and cars share many similar features and components, but heat treating often requires different approaches to serve the automotive industry than it does the aerospace industry.

In this episode of Metallurgy Minute, Metallurgist Rob Simons gives a high-level overview of how each industry’s standards and regulations affect the way that heat treaters must work to achieve the proper characteristics in end parts.
