Heat and thermochemical treatment
Heat treatment in the foundries’ own plants gives castings and machined parts the hardness and toughness they need, without leaving the supply chain.
Treatments
| Treatment | Typical parts |
|---|---|
| Soaking pits and sealed quench | Steel parts treated in batches |
| Toughening | Steel fasteners and small parts |
| Toughening | Steel forgings and blanks |
| Carburizing and carbonitriding | Parts needing a hard surface and a tough core |
| Induction hardening | Local surface hardening |
| Nitriding | Crankshafts and other parts |
Frequently asked questions
Which treatments suit ductile iron and cast steel?
The right cycle depends on grade, section and the properties you need. Tell us the material and the target hardness and we will confirm the treatment with the foundry.
Can treatment follow machining?
Yes. Parts can be rough machined, treated and finish machined, or treated first, depending on the drawing.
