Heat treatment
Hardening is a technique that increases the strength and durability of metal parts. Through controlled heating and rapid cooling, we create robust components. We then further enhance the metal's strength and durability through precise temperature control, known as tempering. With our expertise, we deliver hardened parts that perform in demanding situations.
What is heat treatment?
Heat treatment is a process in which metals are heated to a specific temperature and then cooled in a controlled manner. This alters the metal’s structure to optimize properties such as:
- Hardness
- Toughness
- Wear resistance
The method is commonly used to extend the lifespan of components exposed to high wear or extreme loads.
Heat Treatment of Metal – Our Services
At Legosmide, we offer two main types of heat treatment for metal:
Hardening
Hardening involves heating the metal and rapidly cooling it to increase hardness and strength. The process is commonly used for tools, machine parts, and other components that require high wear resistance.
Tempering
Tempering is a post-treatment that reduces brittleness after hardening. By heating the metal to a lower temperature, toughness is improved while maintaining hardness.
Our customized heat treatment solutions are always tailored to the customer's specific needs and requirements.
Applications of Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is a key process in several industrial sectors:
- Workshop industry and machine components
- Manufacturing of tools and molds
- Automotive industry for wear-resistant parts
- Energy and construction sectors
Regardless of the application, we ensure that the metal components acquire the right properties to meet the toughest demands.
