Heat Treating Capabilities
-
Normalizing steel is a heat treatment process that involves heating the steel above its critical temperature and then air-cooling it, refining its microstructure for improved strength and toughness.
-
Austenitizing steel is the process of heating it above its critical temperature to transform its microstructure into austenite, preparing it for subsequent heat treatment processes.
-
Quenching of steel is a rapid cooling process, typically by immersion in water or oil, which hardens the steel by transforming its microstructure from austenite to martensite.
-
Tempering of steel is a heat treatment process that follows quenching, aimed at reducing brittleness and enhancing toughness by reheating the steel to a temperature below its critical point.
-
Stress relieving steel is a heat treatment process that reduces internal stresses caused by welding or machining, improving dimensional stability and reducing the risk of distortion or failure during subsequent processing.
-
Annealing steel is a heat treatment process that softens the material, improves ductility, relieves internal stresses, and enhances overall workability by heating it to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling it.
-
Solution annealing steel is a heat treatment process that dissolves carbide precipitates, enhances corrosion resistance, and increases material uniformity by heating to a high temperature and rapidly cooling it.
-
Age hardening steel, also known as precipitation hardening, is a heat treatment process that increases strength and hardness through the formation of stable precipitates during aging at controlled temperatures.
-
Atmosphere heat treatment of steel involves heating the material in a controlled gaseous environment to prevent oxidation, enabling precise alterations in microstructure, enhancing mechanical properties, and achieving desired performance characteristics.
-
Carburizing steel is a surface hardening process that involves diffusing carbon into the steel's surface at high temperatures, enhancing its hardness and wear resistance while maintaining a tough core.
