Heat Treatment
 | Heat treatment is a method used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material |
Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve a desired result such as hardening or softening of a material.
Annealing
| |
| Brazing
Brazing allow diverse configurations of parts, dissimilar metals and non-metals of non-uniform thickness to be joined. | |
Carburizing & Carbonitriding
| |
| Galvanizing The use of nitrogen for gas wiping of galvanized strip and wire has been widely adopted to give a better surface finish. | |
| Hardening Neutral hardening is a heat treatment procedure for steels with the aim to produce a martensitic microstructure. | |
| Nitriding & Nitrocarburizing These processes involve the diffusion of nitrogen into the surface layers of a low carbon steel at elevated temperature. | |
| Quenching & Cooling
The use of gas quenching in a vacuum furnaces has advantages over both conventional processing and liquid quenching | |
| Sintering Sintering produces parts that are harder (martenistic) and/or tougher (martenistic/bainitic) by controlled the cooling rate. | |
| Sub Zero Treatments
Use a moderately cold process for stabilization and austenite removal or deep cold to improve wear resistance. | |
