Heat Treatment

Heat treatment is a process or the combination of several processes for the treatment of workpieces, which are heated and cooled again in a specific time sequence in order to change material properties in a targeted manner.

Test Spektrum

Heat treatment trials combined with material property testing

Annealing trials with or without inert gas atmosphere, option for controlled water quenching

Customer specific trial heat treatments 

Aplications

Achievement of standardised mechanical properties of castings e. g. QT-treatment of steel castings by heat treatment steps of annealing-quenching-ageing annealing (tempering)
