Heat treatment of metals is the next stage in the production cycle, which allows us to significantly increase their mechanical properties, in particular hardness, strength and wear resistance. We work with various types of metals and alloys, ensuring that the final product meets all technical requirements of the customer.
Main types of heat treatment of steel and metals
We perform various characteristics of heat treatment of metals, depending on the material and the needs of the client. The main technological processes include:
Annealing
Annealing is aimed at improving the structure of the metal, reducing internal stresses and increasing its ductility. During the process, the product is heated to a certain temperature, produced at this level, and then slowly cooled. Annealing is used for carbon, alloy and tool steels.
Quenching
Quenching of steel is performed to increase its hardness and strength. The process involves heating to a high temperature followed by rapid cooling in water, oil or other media. This allows you to create a hard surface that is resistant to wear and mechanical stress.
Tempering
Tempering is performed after quenching to remove internal stresses in the metal and increase its impact strength. Tempering occurs by reheating to a certain temperature followed by controlled cooling. This process allows you to find a balance between the hardness and ductility of the material.
Stress relief
Stress relief is used to increase the resistance of metal products to deformation during operation. Heat treatment of steel in the form of stress is especially important for parts that are subjected to significant mechanical loads or temperature changes.
Cementation
Cementation is the process of saturating the surface layer of steel with carbon, which allows to significantly increase its hardness and wear resistance. After cementation, the product undergoes hardening, which ensures high surface strength and sufficient plasticity of the raw material.
Equipment for heat treatment of metals
Our company uses modern equipment for heat treatment of steel, in particular vacuum and atmospheric furnaces with the ability to precisely regulate the temperature and gas environment. The use of inert gases during heating and cooling allows to minimize oxidative processes and preserve the physical and mechanical properties of the metal.
Modern solutions with Akonit DS
Heat treatment of metals on Akonit DS-1 equipment is particularly effective, which provides a high level of automation and accuracy of all stages of the process. Thanks to this provision, we fulfill even the most complex orders, guaranteeing high quality of finished products and compliance with technical requirements.
Heat treatment of metals for various industries
We serve clients from various industries, high-quality heat treatment of steel is a key condition for increasing the durability and reliability of products. Our technological capabilities allow us to fulfill both serial and individual orders, ensuring high quality and efficiency of work.
