On Technological Co-Ordination Between Heat Treatment and Machining in Mass Production

Heat treatment plays a very important role in machine building industry. This role can be further strengthened through proper co-ordination between heat treatment and machining processes in mass production and more merits such as the improved machinability of materials, the decreased deformation caused by heat treatment and aging, the reducted machining stock and cost of parts cost as well as the stabilized dimensional accuracy of the parts in service etc. can be obtained.

This paper illustrates the above points and offers the methods for attaining these merits.
