Welcome to Heat Treat Today's This Week in Heat Treat Social Media. You know and we know that there is too much content available on the web, so it’s next to impossible to sift through all of the articles and posts that flood our inboxes and notifications on a daily basis. Today, Heat Treat Today brings you another hot take of the latest compelling, inspiring, and entertaining heat treat chatter from the world of social media.

We're looking at microscopic images, some in-depth heat treat content, a recap of networking opportunities, plus much more!

1. Art or Science?

Through heat treatment, austempered ductile iron (ADI) becomes incredibly strong. For ADI, the material has been austempered such that the matrix is transformed into ausferrite, or a mixture of acicular ferrite and austenite. The image below has been elevated to art-gallery quality with the use of selective color etching.

Images of weld metal, microstructure of coarse-grain zone, microstructure of fine-grain zone, and base material. See how the crystal orientation changes in different zones.

2. All That Chatter

Check out some of the chatter that everyone has been posting on heat treat topics over the last few months.

1. "August" Is for "Automotive"

This August, we're seeing and hearing a lot about the convergence of heat treat and the automotive sector. In this news piece, read how EV assemblies will be able to include Canada-made products in Canada. For more on how EV will influence heat treaters, go to www.heattreattoday.com/radio on Thursday, August 11th.

2.  What Are They Saying?

Everybody talks! That's for sure. But this week, what are they talking about? For starters, the cost of furnace downtime, metallurgical definitions, leak-detecting robots, and water quenching are on the docket.
