Industrial Heat Treating Services
Raw steel rarely meets the durability demands of high-wear applications without precise thermal processing. ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ³¬ÎÛ works alongside engineers and manufacturing decision-makers by heat treating steel to increase ductility, strength, and wear resistance.
Our industrial heat treating services optimize performance through metallurgical science, supporting high-volume runs and complex, precision components. Discover how our technology center helps reduce component failures and extend the product life cycle.
Austempering Services
Hardness is often mistaken for toughness when heat treating steel. This leads to brittle parts that easily snap under impact. ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ³¬ÎÛ’s austempering services use the proprietary ²Ñ´¡¸éµþ´¡±õ±·Â® process, our patented heat-treated process material. This produces a bainitic microstructure that’s harder and more durable than that produced by standard quench-and-temper methods.
Achieving a hardness of 48-52 Rc and improving wear resistance by 33% compared to conventional processes, it provides a superior material ideal for blades, agricultural components, and high-impact wear parts. It’s suitable for other lighter-weight parts that can’t sacrifice strength in performance.
Induction and Vacuum Heat Treating Services
ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ³¬ÎÛ’s innovative approach to harnessing these industrial heat treatment solutions includes:
- Induction heat treating services: This is a specialized method of heat treating steel and other metal components through electromagnetic induction. It can be customized based on the material and offers controlled heating, rapid cycle times, and energy efficiency. It’s popular across the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and tooling industries. It can be used for surface hardening, case hardening, annealing, tempering, and other heat-treatment processes.
- Vacuum heat-treating services: Our advanced vacuum furnaces deliver effective heat-treatment solutions for a range of materials and applications. Our industrial heat treatment in a vacuum environment prevents oxidation and reduces porosity when used in our own ¹ó±«³§±õ°¿±·²ú´Ç²Ô»å® process.
- Understanding capabilities: Vacuum heat treating is best suited for parts that require bright finishes with minimal distortion, or for decision-makers who require tight dimensional tolerance or medical-grade precision. Induction heat treating is best suited for components with selective hardening requirements, where specific areas require wear resistance while the core remains ductile.
Vacuum and induction heat treating services are essential parts of enhancing the performance and durability of complex metal components.
Carburizing and Oil Quench Capabilities
Carburizing heat treating services, specifically using the oil quench and temper heat treating method, enhance the surface hardness and wear resistance of steel components. Oil is used to slow cooling rates, reducing distortion.
The key features and benefits of our carburizing with oil quenching and temper heat treating include:
- Surface durability and wear resistance
- Bulk hardening of steel components for uniformity
- The capacity for large-scale production with consistent repeatability
- Control over the depth of the hardened case, enabling customization
Carburizing with oil quenching and tempering can also be a cost-effective solution for achieving desired material properties, especially when balancing performance and production costs.
