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.

How does metal absorb heat?

Metal absorbs heat through a process called conduction, where heat energy is transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one through direct contact. When metal is exposed to heat, its atoms vibrate more rapidly, causing the metal to absorb and store the heat energy. This is why metal objects feel warm to the touch after being exposed to heat.


Why does metal heat up fast?
