Heat Treat before or after machining?

< My reference specifically refers to heat treatment of steel for strength (not annealing) >

I'm a designer currently taking a metallurgy class and I have little experience with heat treating parts I've designed (none to be exact). I could discuss with you all day about what's going in the microstructure of metals but we've failed to talk about real world applications.

My question is: I assume (generally) parts are heat treated after working. If so, what happens to the tolerances?

Logic tells me to rough machine all the less functional dimensions of my part then heat treat. Afterward (once the part has been hardened) machine the more critical dimensions such as slip fit or press fitting features. If so, how is this done? grinding? tungsten carbide tools? (I have no idea I'm only speculating).

Also, If anyone can direct me to information on Metallurgy AND how's it's applied to real world fabrication processes it would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

machine to finished dimension if the part has low tolerances or isn't something that is likely to warp badly being heat treated (long thin sections) or isn't likely to fracture

if it's something with higher tolerances .020 or better, rough out the part leaving an allowance, we usually leave + .015 or more per dimension, if it's something that is long and thin you might leave .060 or more, and then heat treat the part and then grind or machine to finished dimension

also larger pieces will require more allowance for warping than smaller pieces

usually it's the responsibility of the shop to determine what is adequate allowance,designer just specifies finished dimensions, and tolerances

"more critical dimensions such as slip fit or press fitting features"

for something like this you would machine to finished size PLUS some allowance, heat treat and then grind or machine to fit

it's also important to understand that parts can develop cracks while being heat treated and any features that are to have sharp internal corners should be left with a radius that can be removed after heat treating

of course this will be not be the case for external corners as you would have to remove material to leave a radius
