Bodycote, a leading thermal processing services provider, announced the launch of its “Interactive History of Metallurgy” after taking a look back at the long history of metal processing and heat treatment.

With more than 200 high-quality images and numerous videos, Bodycote pays homage to the artisans from thousands of years ago along with the scientists and inventors of more modern metallurgy and engineering by charting important and fascinating discoveries.

Starting in 8700 B.C. with the world’s oldest-known copper artifacts, all the way through to the modern processes that Bodycote undertakes daily, this resource charts the development of metal working from the mystical and utilitarian requirements of early mankind through to the scientific and technical breakthroughs of the 20th century.

Bodycote, a leader in an industry that dates back thousands of years, developed the interactive resource to explore the evolution of metallurgy and heat treating and to acknowledge the collective work of scientists and engineers whose hard work and discoveries have enhanced the properties of metals and alloys, making them better suited to deliver safer, more durable results in an expanding field of applications.

Bodycote also recently announced its opening of two new heat treatment plants in the southeastern U.S. — to be operational later in 2016.
