my country takes the lead in revising international standards in the basic field of heat treatment of ferrous metal materials released

International standard for heat treatment terminology released

Recently, the International Organization for Standardization released an important standard. The standard launched this time is the first international standard that my country has taken the lead in revising in the basic field of heat treatment of ferrous metal materials. The name of the standard is "Ferrous Metal Materials – Heat Treatment – Terminology", and the person in charge of this project is a Chinese expert.

Experts from Germany, Japan, and Finland took the lead in the release of the revised international standard in the basic field of heat treatment of ferrous metal materials . Experts from France and experts from many countries including Italy participated in the formulation of the standard. This means that my country has gained international say in the basic aspects of heat treatment, laying the foundation for the subsequent formulation of relevant standards.

Comprehensive reconstruction and upgrade of the terminology system

This revision of the annealing heat treatment of riveted weldments of large mining equipment reclassifies all professional vocabulary into 9 categories, including general basis, annealing and normalizing, quenching, tempering and distribution, aging, surface heat treatment, chemical heat treatment, structure and defects, etc. Its logical level has become clearer, making it easier for technical personnel to review and use it.

Based on the new technological achievements in heat treatment achieved globally in the past decade, the new standards have been absorbed and 66 new professional terminology classifications have been added that have reached the cutting-edge level, such as continuous austenitization curve, expanded austenite, and full depth of surface quenching hardened layer. These new terms have made up for the deficiencies in the new process terminology. This is the situation.

Large mining equipment rivet weldments benefit

In the manufacturing process of large-scale mining equipment, the riveted weldments must undergo annealing and heat treatment to eliminate welding stress and improve the organizational structure. The unification of terminology standards this time has given the heat treatment process of this type of equipment a more standardized form of expression.

In the mining equipment industry, it involves the welding of a large number of heavy plates, and the annealing treatment after welding is an important link that plays a key role. The new standard provides precise terminology definitions, which is helpful for technical exchanges between enterprises and international customers on the annealing and heat treatment of rivet weldments for large-scale mining equipment , and can avoid quality-related disputes caused by deviations in terminology understanding.

Eliminate differences and reduce trade costs

The new standard has deleted and modified more than 10 backward process terms and vague terms, eliminating differences in terms definitions among countries around the world. This is very critical and important for international trade and can reduce communication barriers caused by inconsistent understanding of terminology.

A set of standards provides terminology comparison tables in six languages: English, French, German, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. Chinese terminology continues to serve as the basic language for global heat treatment. The multilingual mutual recognition mechanism can effectively reduce transaction costs and promote technical exchanges.

Multi-industry common specification basis

This standard is a basic general specification for technical exchanges in the global steel industry, automobile industry, aerospace industry, energy equipment industry, engineering machinery and other industries. It is also a basic general specification for product testing and a basic general specification for achieving mutual recognition of trade. Large mining equipment belongs to the category of engineering machinery, and its heat treatment quality will have a direct impact on the service life of the equipment.

The standard stipulates nearly 300 definitions of heat treatment terms related to ferrous metals such as steel and cast iron, covering a full range of heat treatment process systems. This is of great significance to ensuring product quality and promoting technological progress in the industry. It also provides technical support for my country's manufacturing industry to go global.

Promote the global development of the industry

By building a global scope and mutually recognized professional terminology structure in multiple languages, this standard will continue to encourage different countries around the world to eliminate industrial technology barriers. my country has played a leading role in formulating this international standard, which demonstrates my country's technical level and management capabilities in the field of heat treatment.

In the future, my country will continue to participate in the formulation of more international standards to enhance its influence in international standardization organizations. This has far-reaching significance for my country's ferrous metal heat treatment industry to move global and participate in international competition.
