Heat treating is metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatment involves the use of heating, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve a desired result such as hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, normalizing and quenching.

On site heat treatment services:

• Pre-Heating
• Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT)
• Hydrogen Release
• Induction Heating

Benefits of post weld heat treatment:

• Relaxes residual stresses
• Relaxes thermal stresses
• Tempers the metal
• Removes diffusible Hydrogen
• Metallurgical structure is improved
