Heat treatment

In order to meet exacting specifications, it is not enough just to deliver the right quality; the cast components also have to be subjected to error-free heat treatment.

Depending on the material and its dimensions, the temperature, heating-up time, dwell-time and speed and method of quenching all need to be adjusted in order to deliver optimum results.

Our plant is equipped with seven heat-treatment kilns for this purpose, in shuttle or batch configuration, with a capacity of up to 40 metric tons and a maximum temperature of 1,100°C, designed to carry out such treatments as, for example, hardening, tempering, solution-annealing and stress-free annealing.
