Heat treatment could be considered “old school” because for decades our limited thinking was that only heat could cause transformation in metal to create a better, finer grain structure. In fact, only a very few manufacturing companies understood grain structure and its real importance to the longevity of metal. If a company was large enough, they might have an on-site metallurgist who watched over the heattreating processes. But, likely because heat treaters can’t easily see grain structure, it was decided that hardness would be the controlling standard.
