Gas Nitriding is most effective when applied to the range of steels containing nitride-forming elements such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and aluminium.
Annealing
Annealing is a heat treatment process that alters the physical and chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it more workable.
Case Hardening
Case-hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal object while allowing the metal deeper underneath to remain soft, thus forming a thin layer of harder metal at the surface.
Normalizing
A metal is heated to a temperature below its melting point and allowed to cool in air in order to make it more ductile. It can soften, harden or stress relieve a material.
Aluminum Material Ageing
Aluminum alloys used in aerospace technology by artificial ageing heat treatments lead to an improvement of its mechanical properties.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving is applied to remove internal residual stresses generated by processes such as machining, cold rolling, and welding.
Toughening
Annealed or float glass when broken forms large jagged sharp shards which can cause injury. Glass toughening is the process of heating and then cooling.
Precipitation Hardening
Precipitation Hardening also called age hardening is a heat treatment technique used to increase the yield strength of malleable materials.
Tempering
Tempering is a process of heat treating, which is used to increase the toughness of iron-based alloys. Tempering is usually performed after hardening, to reduce the excess hardness.
Bend Removing
A bent shaft can occur as a result of damage during shipment, rigging, or operation. Shaft straightening methods, when properly applied, can be used to salvage damaged shafting.
Stress Relieving
Stress relieving is applied to both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys to remove internal residual stresses generated by prior manufacturing processes such as machining, cold rolling, and welding.
Vibro Finishing Process
Vibratory finishing is a type of mass finishing manufacturing process used to deburr, radius, descale, burnish, clean, and brighten a large number of relatively small workpieces.
