PWHT is a form of stress relief, other forms can be as simple as smacking your structural weld with a hammer. PWHT re-aligns metallic molicules (face centered) to similar configurations as before rapid heating and cooling occured.

What are the reasons of heat treatment?

Heat treatment is used primarily to alter the physical and sometimes chemical properties of materials, particularly metals. The main reasons include improving hardness and strength, enhancing ductility, relieving internal stresses, and refining the microstructure of the material. It can also improve wear resistance, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making the material more suitable for specific applications. Overall, heat treatment optimizes performance and extends the lifespan of components in various industries.

Can bennox be heat treat?

Bennox, a type of high-performance stainless steel, is typically not heat-treated in the same way as carbon steels because it is designed to maintain its properties without significant changes from heat treatment. However, certain grades of Bennox may undergo processes like annealing to relieve stress or improve machinability. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the best practices regarding heat treatment for specific grades.
