| 1. A method of thermal treatment of components comprising:
(a) determining the optimum thermal amplitude of the components at which the phase transformation kinetics of the components
is maximum by subjecting samples of the components to cyclic thermal processing at various thermal amplitudes by maintaining
the upper temperature constant and varying the lower temperature;
(b) selecting a thermal amplitude which is higher than the optimum thermal amplitude;
(c) subjecting the components to cyclic thermal processing at the thermal amplitude selected in step (b) wherein the upper
temperature is maintained at a same value and the lower temperature is varied; and
(d) cooling down the components to room temperature.
