Heat treating is used to change the properties of materials. Our first year undergraduates make a woodworking plane in their workshop sessions and heat treatment is used on the blade in a 2 step process: hardening followed by tempering. This video demonstrates the tempering process, you can see our demonstration of hardening here: [ Ссылка ]

Designers need to understand the properties and applications of all materials and our students are given hands-on training as part of their knowledge and skills advancement. Our metal fabrication workshop is used for the cutting, brazing/welding and assembly of metal prototypes. Students are taught how to safety use hand tools, guillotines and brazing techniques to form and join sheet metal. A baby pram attachment to a wheelchair was one of the prototypes manufactured within this facility recently.
