Our Processes
Flame Hardening
Flame hardening is a technique used to harden (or soften) certain areas of a steel part, creating a difference in hardness between these areas. The advantage of local heating of parts is less distortion and for some steel types a higher hardness.
Flame hardening is closely related to Induction hardening but differs in some aspects, Flame hardening is almost unlimited in size or shape of the part so no need to build a special inductor for complex geometries. In general you can say that Flame hardening starts there where Induction hardening stops. However, there is one significant difference between these technologies; the heating time. Whereas Induction heating time is normally very short, the Flame hardening takes a longer heating time. This has its influence on the hardening profile. The Induction hardened profile shows a very abrupt hardness decrease whereas the Flame hardened profile shows a smoother decrease of hardness. A smoother decrease of hardness can be very helpful for heavy loaded applications to prevent the skin from popping off.
Size: up to 7meters length and 20 Tons
Atmospheric Heat Treatment
High temperature process under a protective gaseous atmosphere.
Atmospheric high and low temperature heat treatments, usually followed by rapid cooling (quench) in polymer or water. To avoid decarburization and oxidation parts are treated under nitrogen.
Size: up to 2meters length and 1,5 tons
Although we are temporary not able to do carburizing with sequent oil quench ourselves, we will help you finding the right partner.
