ANNEALING
Heat Treatment consisting of Heating and Soaking at a suitable temperature followed by cooling under conditions such that, after return to ambient temperature, the metal will be in a structural state closer to that of equilibrium
Batch Sizes up to 30 Tonnes • Max Length 8.0m
NORMALISING
Heat Treatment consisting of austenetizing (the point at which the structure of the ferrous product becomes austenitic) followed by air cooling
Batch Sizes up to 30 Tonnes • Max Length 10m
STRESS RELIEVING
Heat Treatment including heating to and soaking at a suitable temperature followed by cooling at an appropriate rate in order to reduce the internal stresses without substantially modifying the structure.
Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) to ASME, PD5500, AWS, ASTM, ISO 14745 etc
Fabrications up to 10m length •
Maximum Diameter plates/rings 7.0m
AGE HARDENING
Precipitation hardening: Hardening of a ferrous product caused by precipitation of a compound from a supersaturated solid solution.
Solution Treatment: Heat Treatment intended to dissolve and retain in solution previously precipitated constituents.
Ageing: Heating and soaking at one or more specified temperatures, followed by appropriate cooling.
Lengths up to 7.4m •. Batch sizes up to 10 T
TEMPERING
Heat Treatment applied to ferrous products after quench hardening to bring the properties to the required level.
It consists of heating to specific temperatures (< Ac1 ) one or more times and holding at these temperatures, followed by cooling at an appropriate rate.
Batch Sizes up to 30 Tonnes • Max Length 10m
SOLUTION TREATMENT
Heat Treatment intended to dissolve and retain in solution previously precipitated constituents.
