Heat Treatment Process Setup
Some Heat Treatment processes allow you to provide additional inputs about the processes which can have an impact on cost estimates.
• Masking – For all the various Surface Hardening, Through Hardening, Annealing and primary Tempering processes, you can indicate the number of features to be masked to prevent hardening of those features. The default is that No Masking is performed.
Note: the Masking option is not available for the Additional Temper process as it is assumed any masking will have been applied with earlier heat treatment processes.
• Carburizing Case Depth – for the Carburizing process, you can indicate the case depth range (either the standard depth range or a deeper range). The default behavior is to use the standard depth range, but if you choose the deeper range this will increase the Carburizing cost accordingly.
