Question 1

What is HeatIntelAI?

Accepted Answer

HeatIntelAI is an AI heat treatment advisor that gives manufacturing engineers instant recommendations for heat treatment cycles, quench media, target hardness, and expected microstructure for any steel or alloy.

Question 2

Who is HeatIntelAI built for?

Accepted Answer

It is built for CNC shop owners, design engineers, metallurgists, heat treatment professionals, and manufacturing MSMEs who need fast, reliable heat treatment guidance without consulting a specialist every time.

Question 3

What does HeatIntelAI recommend?

Accepted Answer

For any material or application input, it recommends the full heat treatment cycle including process type, heating temperature, hold time, quench media, cooling rate, target hardness, and expected microstructure.

Question 4

How accurate are the recommendations?

Accepted Answer

Recommendations are based on ASM Handbook principles and validated against real manufacturing scenarios by a machine design expert with 12+ years of experience. All recommendations should be verified by a qualified metallurgist before production use.

Question 5

Is HeatIntelAI free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you get 15 free queries with no credit card required. Paid plans start at ₹299/month (India) or $5/month (global) for the Drafter plan.

Question 6

What materials does HeatIntelAI cover?

Accepted Answer

HeatIntelAI covers carbon steels, alloy steels, tool steels, stainless steels, cast irons, and selected non-ferrous alloys used in industrial manufacturing.

Question 7

Can HeatIntelAI help reduce part rejection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By providing correct heat treatment parameters upfront, it eliminates trial-and-error and reduces rejection caused by wrong quenching, over-tempering, or incorrect hardness targets — which account for 15–30% of rejections in typical job shops.

Question 8

What plans are available?

Accepted Answer

Drafter Plan at ₹299/month (India) or $5/month (global) gives 75 annotation + 20 full report queries per month. Pro Plan at ₹999/month (India) or $12/month (global) gives 150 annotation + 100 full report queries per month.

Question 9

Is my uploaded drawing data kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Drawings are processed in real-time for analysis only and are not stored persistently on our servers. We do not share your technical data with third parties beyond the AI processing infrastructure (Anthropic API).

Question 10

Can I rely on these recommendations for production use?

Accepted Answer

HeatIntelAI provides AI-assisted advisory guidance. All recommendations must be reviewed and validated by a qualified metallurgist or materials engineer before production implementation. We are not liable for outcomes from following the recommendations without professional sign-off.
