- Descaling: Sometimes called "scale removal" or "oxide removal", breaks down hazardous organic compounds into harmless byproducts.
- Foam Expansion: Also called "foaming" or "polymer expansion", processes materials like polyurethane to achieve desired shapes and densities.
- Gas or Vapor Phase Coating: Process used to deposit thin layers of material onto a substrate using chemical or physical vapor techniques. It includes processes like "chemical vapor deposition (CVD)" or "physical vapor deposition (PVD)."
- Hardening: Also referred to as "heat treating" or "case hardening", increases the hardness and wear resistance of metals through heat and quenching.
- Heat Shrinking: Refers to a process also known as "thermal contraction" where heat is applied to a material, causing it to shrink in size and conform tightly to the shape of the object it covers.
- Hot Forming: Process where metals or other materials are heated to a specific temperature to become malleable, enabling them to be shaped or formed into desired structures. Sometimes it's called "hot working" or "thermal forming".
- Material Testing: The process of subjecting materials to controlled heating conditions to assess their properties, performance, and behavior. Depending on the test, this may include "thermal analysis" or "stress testing."
- Normalizing: Normalizing or "thermal normalizing" refines the grain structure of steel and other alloys to enhance mechanical properties.
- Quenching: Process, occasionally called "rapid cooling", used in metalworking to rapidly cool a material, typically metal or alloy, after it has been heated to a specific temperature.
- Reflow Soldering: Melts solder paste to create electrical connections on circuit boards
- Sintering : Bonds powder materials into a solid mass using heat. When metals are involved it is also known as "powder metallurgy".
- Sterilization & Heat Sanitization: Uses high heat to kill bacteria and microorganisms, often for medical or food applications.
- Thermal Oxidation: Also known as "oxidative degradation" or simply "oxidation", this process breaks down hazardous organic compounds into harmless byproducts.
- Thermal Shock Testing: Known as "thermal cycling" in some testing environments, this process subjects materials or components to specific temperatures for testing their durability.
- Vulcanization: Also called "rubber curing", strengthens rubber materials through controlled heat application.
