Heat treatment is carried out to change the physical properties. This process involves heating or chilling, usually to extreme temperatures and achieves results such as hardening or softening. The jacks are heat treated to harden the steel, which gives strength to the bottle jacks, allowing them to withstand heavy loads and constant use. | |||
