Heat Treatment Services


Heat Treatment Services :

Heat treating is an essential phenomenon that is very much needed to manipulate the physical, as well as sometimes the chemical properties of a metal. Heat Treatment of ferrous alloys, involves heating and quenching of the related material at extreme temperatures to get the desired result, such as the hardening and softening of the same material. The size and composition of these crystallites play a pivotal role in determining the overall behaviour of the related metals. The process of heat treatment is designed to manipulate these governing properties of the metal through controlling the rate of diffusion or cooling. Heat treatment is basically used for improving or restoring the manufacturability of a product. Some of the most common forms of heat treatment methods include annealing, hardening, precipitation, case hardening, selective hardening, ageing and stress relieving.

HSS (M2, M3, M4, M35, PM 23) HIGH SPEED STEEL HEAT TREATMENT :

High Speed Tool Steel has very high carbon and vanadium contents for for exceptional abrasion resistance. It is well suited for premium cutting tools of all types, particularly those used for machining abrasive alloys, castings, and heat-treated materials. The high carbon content of this grade allows it to be hardened in excess of 65HRC. However, the high hardness and high vanadium carbide content make it more difficult to grind after heat treatment Tungsten high-speed tool steels are primarily used for cutting tools such as broaches, chasers, cutters, drills, hobs, reamers, and taps.
All high-speed tool steels depend on the solution of various complex alloy carbides during austenitizing to develop both their heat-resisting qualities and cutting ability. These carbides do not dissolve to any appreciable extent unless the steel is heated to temperatures approaching the melting point of the steel.

TOOL STEEL HEAT TREATMENT  :

Tool steels are important materials and cover a wide range of compositions from simple plastic molding die steels or water-hardening carbon steels to very highly alloyed high-speed steels. Even more exotic compositions can be achieved by the powder metallurgy route, Tool steels usually contain significantly more alloying elements than alloy steels. Approximately 70 types of tool steels are available in India. The reason for so many types of tool steels is evolutionary development over a period of many years and the wide range of needs that they serve. Tool steels have properties that permit their use as tools for cutting and shaping metals and other materials both hot and cold. The tool steels are grouped into seven major groups, and subdivided into subgroups.
They are Water - Hardening, Shock-resisting, Cold-work, Hot-work, High-speed, Mold, Special-purpose If we are to see the true microstructure of steels, such as tool steels, we must properly prepare them. We are instrumental in providing our clients with an extensive range of hardening Tool Steel The clients can avail this steel in round, flat and square shapes, at affordable prices. Our range is procured from reliable vendors, who use quality raw material and technologically advanced machines for manufacturing the products.

Austempering Or Ausquenching


Austempering Ductile Iron- ADI(Austempered Ductile Iron)

AUSTEMPERING is the isothermal transformation of a ferrous alloy at a temperature below that of pearlite formation and above that of martensite formation. Austempering of steel and nodular cast iron offers several potential advantages:

Processes available with us :

Increased ductility, toughness, and strength at a given hardness.
Reduced distortion, which lessens subsequent machining time, stock removal, sorting, inspection,        and scrap.
The shortest overall time cycle to through-harden within the hardness range of 35 to 55 HRC, with    resulting savings in energy and capital investment.

ADI offers this superior combination of properties because it can be cast like any other member of the Ductile Iron family, thus offering all the production advantages of a conventional Ductile Iron casting. Subsequently it is subjected to the austempering process to produce mechanical properties that are superior to conventional ductile iron, cast and forged aluminum and many cast and forged steels.
The yield strength of ADI is over three times that of the best cast or forged aluminum. In addition ADI weighs only 2.4 times more than aluminum and is 2.3 times stiffer. ADI is also 10% less dense than steel. The mechanical properties of Ductile Iron and ADI are primarily determined by the metal matrix. The matrix in conventional Ductile Iron is a controlled mixture of pearlite and ferrite. (Tempered martensitic matrices may be developed for wear resistance, but lack the ductility of either as-cast Ductile Iron or ADI). The properties of ADI are due to its unique matrix of acicular ferrite and carbon stabilized austenite; called Ausferrite.


Martempering Or Marquenching:

MARTEMPERING also known as ‘marquenching’, this treatment uses an elevated temperature quench. Components are heated to the austenitizing temperature range and quenched, normally in molten salt at a temperature above the martensitic transformation start point (Ms). Components are held in the quenching medium for sufficient time until the temperature of the component is uniform and then air cooled through the martensite formation range.
This is effectively a harden and temper operation at the same time, keeping distortion to a minimum. Subsequent tempering is carried out to improve the materials toughness.
Advantages:
marker-1Results in properties which combine good wear resistance, high strength, ductility and toughness with minimum distortion.

Gas Nitriding Services

Gas Nitriding process provides several advantages for the alloys treated, such as high surface hardness, wear resistance, anti-galling, good fatigue life, corrosion resistance and improved sag resistance at temperatures up to the nitriding temperatures. Gas nitriding is typically done using ammonia with or without dilution of the atmosphere with dissociated ammonia or nitrogen (or nitrogen/hydrogen) in the temperature range of 925-1050°F (500-565°C). Ammonia (NH3) is allowed to flow over the parts to be hardened.Due to the temperature and the catalytic effect of the steel surface, the ammonia dissociates into atomic nitrogen and hydrogen in accordance with equation 2NH3 → 2N + 6H.

Nitrocarburising for Wear Resistance 

Nitrocarburizing is a variation of the nitriding process. It is a thermochemical diffusion process where nitrogen, carbon, and to a very small degree, oxygen atoms diffuse into the surface of the steel part, forming a compound layer at the surface, and a diffusion layer. Nitrocarburizing is a shallow case variation of the nitriding process. Advantages of the process include the ability to harden materials which are not prehardened, the relatively low temperature of the process which minimizes distortion, and relative low cost in comparison to carburizing or other case hardening processes. This process is done mainly to provide an anti-wear resistance on surface layer and to improve fatigue resistance.

Carbonitriding Services


Gas Carbonitriding Liquid :

Gas carbonitriding is similar to carburizing, except that small additions of nitrogen are added to the atmosphere and the temperature is slightly lower. Consequently, the case depth and therefore, the load carrying capability is not as high as with carburizing, but the wear resistance and dimensional control are often superior.
Carbonitriding has the further advantage that it can be performed on unalloyed steels, so that it can be used for small stampings or other types of machined parts to make a strong, wear resistant part economically.
Size - 1500 Ø X 2800 mm Length


 


Liquid Carbonitriding :

Liquid carbonitriding is the process of diffusion enrichment of the surface layer of a part with carbon and nitrogen provided by a molten salt.The process is carried out at the temperatures 820-860°C
Carbonitriding is used primarily to impart a hard, wear-resistant case, generally from 0.075 to 0.75 mm deep. A carbonitrided case has better hardenability than a carburized case (nitrogen increases the hardenability of steel; it is also an austenite stabilizer, and high nitrogen levels can result in retained austenite, particularly in alloy steels).
Consequently, by carbonitriding and quenching, a hardened case can be produced at less expense within the case-depth range indicated, using either carbon or low-alloy steel. Full hardness with less distortion can be achieved with oil quenching, or, in some instances, even gas quenching, employing a protective atmosphere as the quenching medium.
Benefits of heat treatment in salt baths:

Fast heating. A work part immersed into a molten salt is heated by heat transferred by conduction (combined with convection) through the liquid media (salt bath). The heat transfer rate in a liquid media is much greater than that in  other heating mechanisms: radiation, convection through a gas (e.g, air).
Heat Treatment of Metals Like Hardening, Austempering, Carburising, Gas Nitriding, Liquid  Nitriding, Oxidising, Steaming, Hardening, Tempering, Stress Relieving, Annealing, Normalising, Precipitation    Hardening, Induction Hardening, Nitro carburising, Carbonitriding.
Controlled cooling conditions during quenching. In conventional quenching operation either water or    oil are used as the quenching media. High cooling rate provided by water/oil may cause cracks and    distortions. Cooling in molten salt is slower and stops at lower temperature.
Low surface oxidation and decarburization. The contact of the hot work part with the atmosphere is    minimized when the part is treated in the salt bath.

Aluminum Heat Treatment Services :

We are engaged in undertaking Aluminum Heat Treatment Services for our clients. Heat Treatment of aluminum alloys, employed to increase strength and hardness of the precipitation-hardenable wrought and cast alloys by Solutionising and Precipitation Hardening. These usually are referred to as the "heat-treatable" alloys to distinguish them from those alloys in which no significant strengthening can be achieved by heating and cooling. The latter, generally referred to as "non-heat-treatable" alloys, depend primarily on cold work to increase strength. Heating to decrease strength and increase ductility (annealing) is used with alloys of both types; metallurgical reactions may vary with type of alloy and with degree of softening desired. Except for the low-temperature stabilization treatment. We use technologically advanced furnaces while executing this job work.

Hardening and Tempering :

Martensitic or quench hardening, neutral hardening is a heat treatment used to achieve high hardness / strength on steel. It consists of austenitising, quenching and tempering, in order to retain a tempered martensite or bainite structure.teel can be treated by intense heat to give it different properties of hardness and softness. This depends on the amount of carbon in the steel (only high carbon steel can be hardened and tempered). Tempering is a low temperature (150°C to 650°C) heat treatment intended to remove the stresses and brittleness caused by quenching and to develop the required mechanical properties.

LIQUID HARDENING & TEMPERING (1500 Ø X 3000 mm Length)


 


Gas Carburising (Surface Hardening) :

Gas Carburising Process is a surface hardening process, which improves the case depth hardness of a component by diffusing carbon into the surface layer to improve wear and fatigue resistance. The work pieces are pre-heated and then held for a period of time at an elevated temperature in the austenitic region of the specific alloy, typically between 820 and 940°C. During the thermal cycle the components are subject to an enriched carbon atmosphere such that nascent species of carbon can diffuse into the surface layers of the component.
Size- 1000 Ø X 3000 mm Length


 


Liquid Carburising Service :

Liquid Carburizing is essentially the addition of carbon at the surface of low carbon steels at appropriate temperatures.Case hardening is achieved with the quenching of the high carbon surface layer that has a good fatigue and wear resistance. This layer is applied on a tough low carbon steel nucleus. Case hardening of the carburized steels is mainly a function of carbon content. When steel carbon contents exceed a certain percentage, hardness is not affected by further carbon addition. Additional carbon at this stage is not dissolved. Steel case hardening depth of the carburized steel depends upon the carburizing time and the surface carbon intensity.When the carburizing time is prolonged to obtain increased case depths, excessive free carbides may be formed. The micro-structural elements have an unfavorable effect on the distribution of residual stresses. Carburized steels generally have base carbon contents of pproximately 0.2% while the carburized layer has carbon contents in the range of 0.8% and 1%. Most carburized steels are deoxidized by the addition of aluminum. Due to the carbon content difference in the core and the case, their case hardening capability is also different.

Annealing


Solution Annealing, Isothermal, Spheroidised Annealing


Spheroidize Annealing :

Spheroidize annealing is beneficial when subsequent machining and/or hardening is required (since the microstructure consists of rounded cementite particles in a ferrite matrix). The spheroidized condition is the true equilibrium state of the steel and is its softest condition. The spheroidized microstructure also ossesses good cold-forming characteristics. Generally, the larger the spheroids and the more distance between them, the greater the ability of the steel to be cold formed. The importance of prior condition in spheroidize nnealing applies to all steels regardless of carbon content, and the presence of coarse pearlite is ndesirable because of resistance to spheroidization

Solution Annealing :

Solution Annealing of stainless steel is a process which takes the carbides that have precipitated in the grain boundaries and dissolves then into the surrounding matrix. The austenitic stainless steel castings are typically solution annealed at temperatures more than 1040º C and rapidly cooled to prevent a repeat of carbide precipitation in the grain boundaries. Some alloys due to their low carbon content do not need a solution anneal due to carbide formation, but benefit from a solution anneal to achieve maximum corrosion resistance.


 


Full Annealing Service :

A full anneal typically results in the second most ductile state a metal can assume for metal alloy. It creates a new uniform microstructure with good dynamic properties. To perform a full anneal on steel for example, steel is heated to 50°C above the austenic temperature and held for sufficient time to allow the material to fully form austenite or austenite-cementite grain structure. The material is then allowed to cool slowly so that the equilibrium microstructure is obtained. In some cases this means the material is allowed to air cool. In other cases the material is allowed to furnace cool. The details of the process depend on the type of metal and the precise alloy involved. In any case the result is a more ductile material but a lower yield strength and a lower tensile strength. This process is also called LP annealing for lamellar pearlite in the steel industry as opposed to a process anneal, which does not specify a microstructure and only has the goal of softening the material. Often the material to be machined is annealed, and then subject to further heat treatment to achieve the final desired properties.



Normalising service


Normalising :

NORMALISING is a heat-treating process that is often considered from both thermal and microstructural standpoints. In the thermal sense, normalizing is an austenitizing heating cycle followed by cooling in still or slightly agitated air. Typically, the work is heated to a temperature about 55 °C above the upper critical line of the iron - iron carbide phase diagram, that is, above Ac3 for hypoeutectoid steels and above Acm for hypereutectoid steels. To be properly classed as a normalizing treatment, the heating portion of the process must produce a homogeneous austenitic phase (face-centered cubic, or fcc, crystal structure) prior to cooling.

Stress Relieving Services


Stress Relieving  :

STRESS-RELIEVING process is used to relieve stresses that remain locked in a structure as a consequence of a manufacturing sequence. This definition separates stress-relief heat treating from postweld heat treating in that the goal of postweld heat treating is to provide, in addition to the relief of residual stresses, some preferred metallurgical structure or properties. For example, most ferritic weldments are given postweld heat treatment to improve the fracture toughness of the heat-affected zones . Moreover, austenitic and nonferrous alloys are frequently postweld heat treated to improve resistance to environmental damage.
Stress-relief heat treating is the uniform heating of a structure, or portion thereof, to a suitable temperature below the transformation range (Ac1 for ferritic steels), holding at this temperature for a predetermined period of time, followed by uniform cooling. Care must be taken to ensure uniform cooling, particularly when a component is composed of variable section sizes. If the rate of cooling is not constant and uniform, new residual stresses can result that are equal to or greater than those that the heat-treating process was intended to relieve.
Stress-relief heat treating can reduce distortion and high stresses from welding that can affect service performance. The presence of residual stresses can lead to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) near welds and in regions of a component that has been cold strained during processing. Furthermore, cold strain per se can produce a reduction in creep strength at elevated temperatures.

Flame Hardening Service


Flame Hardening :

Flame hardening in its simplest form is the heating up of steel to its hardening temperature by a flame and then quenching in water or oil. The gas used for the heating is a mixture of oxygen and usually acetylene although occasionally propane is employed. The gases are mixed in a burner unit whose shape is dictated by the part to be flame hardened.

Phosphating


Zinc Phosphate Coating Services :

Zinc Phosphate Coating Services is applied when increased corrosion resistance is required. Zinc phosphate withstands 240 hours of neutral salt test.A wide range of coating weights may be obtained : from very thin fine crystal films to heavy deposits with weight up to 4 g/ft2 (40 g/m2).
The coating color is gray of different tins : from light to dark. Finer zinc phosphate crystals produce darker color. Dark gray color is also characteristic for the high carbon steel substrates.
Zinc phosphate coatings may be applied by using immersion or spray technique.
Light and medium weight zinc coatings do not require substrate surface activation. The substrate surface should be acid activated prior to heavy coating deposition. Zinc phosphate is used not only for non-coated Steels and cast irons but also for galvanized (zinc plated) steel parts.

Manganese Phosphating Services :

Manganese phosphating is applied when wear resistance and anti-galling properties are required. Manganese phosphate also possesses the ability to retain oil, which further improves anti-friction properties and imparts corrosion resistance to the coated parts.Magnesium phosphating typically have black color with a slight brown tint, intensity of which depends on the content of manganese oxide in the coating. Manganese phosphate is applied by immersion method. The substrate surface should be acid activated prior to coating. The coating weight is typically in the range 500-4000 mg/ft2 (5-40 g/m2). Because of their good anti-friction properties and corrosion resistance iron phosphate coatings are widely used for combustion engine parts (camshafts, piston rings, cylinder liners, gear parts), weapon mechanisms and other parts working with friction. Oil treatment is commonly employed as post treatment.

Iron Phosphating :

Iron phosphating is applied when strong adhesion of a subsequent painting is required. In contrast to the solutions for Zinc phosphate and Manganese phosphate coatings, in which the metal ions are a constituent of the composition, to the iron phosphate solution iron ions are provided by the dissolving substrate. Iron phosphate coatings have very fine Grain structure. Iron phosphate is translucent therefore its color depends on the steel surface quality. The common color is blue or bluish-brown.Iron phosphate is applied mostly by spray (threestage or five-stage) method but immersion technique is also used. The coating weight is typically in the range 20-100 mg/ft2 (0.2-1.0 g/m2).

Blackodising


Blackodising Corrosion Resistance :

Blackodising Corrosion Resistance is a conversion coating formed by a chemical reaction produced when parts are immersed in the alkaline aqueous salt solution operated at approximately 135º C. The reaction between the iron of the ferrous alloy and the hot oxide bath produces a magnitite (Fe3 O4) on the actual surface of the part. It is possible to oxidize non-ferrous metals under suitable conditions to form black oxides. It is possible to apply black oxide at room temperature, however it is not possible to achieve all of the benefits available from the "hot" oxide process. The cold black oxide process routinely shows color variation from part to part and the black material frequently rubs off in your hands.
In order to determine the appropriate after-finish, it must be evaluated which after-finish to use. The following factors should be considered:In order to determine the appropriate after-finish, it must be evaluated which after-finish to use. The following factors should be considered:
