At a Glance
Our Heat Treatment Range
We arrange batch and continuous furnace work for carbon, alloy and tool steels, complementing base stock from our Carbon Steel Supplier en Stainless Steel Supplier pages and the shaping steps in our Metal Forging Guide.
| Process | Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Gloeien | Furnace cool | Soft, ductile |
| Normalizing | Air cool | Refined grain |
| Quench and temper | Oil or water then temper | Strong, tough |
| Stress relief | Low temperature | Reduce warping |
| Spheroidizing | Cycle anneal | Bewerkbaar |
Furnaces and Control
Controlled atmosphere and monitored soak cycles hold the target hardness; the property basis is in our Hardness and Tensile Guide and the hot versus cold route in our Hot vs Cold Worked Guide.
Steels We Treat
Carbon grades such as 1045 and 4140 and tool steels take quench and temper while structural grades take normalizing, with the grade view in our Tool Steel Buyers Guide.
Quality and Certification
Every lot ships with hardness test results and an EN 10204 MTC, with the document detail in our Mill Test Certificate Guide and verification in our Quality Inspection Guide.
Ordering and Lead Time
Share grade, size and target hardness; plan quantity and timing with our MOQ and Lead Time Guide, price with our Price Quotation Guide and select a partner via our Choose Supplier Guide.
