Applications
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
Annealing is achieved with heat treatment processes that require a neutral (or inert) controlled atmosphere
Brazing
Brazing allows diverse configurations of parts, dissimilar metals and non-metals of non-uniform thickness to be joined
Carburizing & Carbonitriding
A carburizing atmosphere must be able to transfer carbon (also nitrogen in the case of carbonitriding) to the steel surface
Galvanising
The use of nitrogen for gas wiping of galvanised 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 vacuum furnaces has advantages over both conventional processing and liquid quenching
Sintering
Sintering produces parts that are harder (martensitic) and/or tougher (martensitic/bainitic) by controlling the cooling rate
Sub Zero Treatments
Use a moderately cold process for stabilisation and austenite removal or deep cold to improve wear resistance
Other Applications
These range from Autoclaving to Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)
