Heat the metal red hot. To harden the metal, cool it quickly by dunking it into cold water. To get a soft metal, let it cool slowly.
Manufacturers heat treat metal for a variety of reason. One reason is to alter the physical appearance of the metal. Another reason is to harden the metal. They may even heat treat the metal in order to soften the metal to make it more malleable.
No - It means to treat rubber with sulfur and heat, so as to harden it.

Cold chisels are a blacksmithing tool that is used without fire or heat sources, hence the name cold chisel. These tools look like other types of chisels and can even resemble wood working chisels. However, they are much heavier looking upon closer inspection and typically are black or dark in color. They are completely made of metal as well, and do not have handles like a woodworking chisel.
Get a metal rod, heat it really hot wrap it around a metal pipe a little bigger than your wrists. and dunk it in water to harden.
It means it has been heated up to kill germs and bacteria, or it means that a metal has been treated to change its properties.
The edge of a chisel turns blue when sharpening due to overheating, which causes the metal to undergo a change in color resulting from a phenomenon known as tempering. As the chisel is sharpened, friction generates heat, and if the temperature rises too high, it can alter the steel's molecular structure, leading to a blue or purplish hue. This coloration can indicate that the steel has lost some of its hardness, potentially compromising the chisel's effectiveness if not managed properly. To prevent this, it's important to frequently cool the tool during sharpening.
A chisel turns blue when on a grindstone due to overheating caused by excessive friction during the grinding process. This heat can alter the microstructure of the steel, leading to a change in color. The blue hue indicates that the metal has reached a temperature high enough to affect its hardness and temper, which can compromise its cutting ability. To avoid this, it's important to use a proper technique and occasionally cool the chisel during grinding.
Marble is a metamorphic rock so it was formed by heat and pressure. :)
Using heat but just the right amount or it will cause cracking.
i think it is metal
Soak it with penetration oil for days or heat it cherry red with a torch or split it with a chisel.
