I pass this heat treatment definition along until I'm corrected or find a more succinct, better one. Heat treatment is the controlled heating and cooling of a metal in order to change its properties. Forging is controlled heating and cooling but is not considered a heat treatment by metallurgists, probably because of the plastic deformation involved.
Tool Steels are produced in the annealed condition for ease of machining. After machining, the steel is heat-treated and quenched depending upon the type of steel being used. The heat treating and quenching operations increase the toughness and strength of the material. There are three classes of tool steel generally available in the market today - cold work, hot work, and high speed steel: Cold Work steels have high strength, hardenability, impact toughness, and wear resistance.
