Heat Treatment
About this Service
Heat treatment strengthens metal, improves durability and performance. Every cycle refines, every process ensures perfection.
Annealing
Annealing is a thermal process that increases ductility and reduces hardness to make the material easier to machine. It relieves internal stresses and refines the grain structure.
Highlights
- Increase in ductility
- Improved machinability
- Relief of internal stresses
Hardening
By heating and rapid cooling, the hardness and wear resistance of the metal are significantly increased. This process is crucial for components exposed to high mechanical loads.
Highlights
- Maximum wear resistance
- Increased surface hardness
- Longer service life
Normalizing
Normalizing refines the structure and homogenizes the grain structure of the metal. It improves mechanical properties and ensures uniform hardness distribution.
Highlights
- Fine-grained structure
- Homogeneous structure
- Uniform mechanical properties
Tempering
After hardening, the metal is reheated to reduce brittleness and increase toughness. This creates an optimal balance between hardness and ductility.
Highlights
- Reduced brittleness
- Optimal toughness
- Balance between hardness and strength
Case Hardening
Case hardening diffuses carbon into the surface layer to create a hard, wear-resistant surface while maintaining a tough core.
Highlights
- Hard surface, tough core
- High fatigue strength
- Ideal for gears and shafts
Solution Heat Treatment
Used mainly for stainless steels and alloys to bring alloy elements into solution and improve corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Highlights
- Improved corrosion resistance
- Homogenization of alloys
- Optimized for stainless steel
