Atmosphere Treatments

Sealed Quench (Atmosphere) Heat Treatment To serve the need for larger batches of tool steel and sinter metal components Sealed Quench (Atmosphere) Furnaces have been introduced to our facility. Details of our facility are as follows: Temperature range: 800oC – 960oC Suitable for all engineering steels which harden within this temperature range: Stainless steels and tool steels – 01, D3, D6, S1 etc. All Quenching is in oil Size Range: Dimensions possible are 890mm long x 584mm wide x 457mm high Max weight: 350Kg Continuous Mesh Belt Furnaces To enable us to process medium, small and micro components we use SAFED mesh belt conveyer furnace's. In these furnace's we can both through harden and case harden. In all circumstances a uniform consistency is achieved between batches, with none of the ‘masking’ resulting in varying hardness associated with other methods. Typical components treated on these lines include: · Mass produced parts for the automotive industry · Screws and other fastenings · Antifriction bearing components · Fine blanked parts and deep drawn components · Tools such as saw blades, drills and screwdrivers A huge variety of small components can be processed in a wide range of materials. Hardening and case hardening temperatures of up to 900 degrees centigrade can be reached, with a maximum achievable case depth on case hardened parts of around 0.015".
