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 a "heat treating" or "case hardening" process, 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 in the sintering process, 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 thermal 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 a "rubber curing process", strengthens rubber materials through controlled heat application.
