Heat Treatment

Heat treatment changes the internal structure of metal to achieve hardness, toughness or stability. It is also essential for relieving the stress that machining and welding introduce, which otherwise causes parts to move after the final cut.

FAQ

Perguntas frequentes

Why stress relieve before finish machining?

Machining leaves residual stress that pulls the part out of tolerance when material is removed. Relieving stress between roughing and finishing keeps the final dimensions stable.

What hardness can you achieve?

Tool steels reach 58 to 62 HRC after hardening and tempering, while case hardening produces a hard surface with a tough core for impact resistance.

How do you control distortion?

By using controlled heating and cooling rates, supporting long parts during the cycle and, where necessary, leaving grinding stock that we remove afterwards.
