Heat treatment is a critical process in metal manufacturing, allowing for the manipulation of metal properties to achieve specific characteristics. At Malabou, we are New Zealand’s leading heat treatment experts, providing specialized services to transform metals for various industries.
What is Heat Treatment?
Heat treatment is a process that involves heating and cooling metals to alter their microstructure and achieve desired properties. This process can enhance metal strength, toughness, ductility, and corrosion resistance.
Heat Treatment Processes
We offer a range of heat treatment processes, including:
1. Annealing: A process that involves heating metal to a specific temperature and then cooling it slowly to relieve internal stresses.
2. Hardening: A process that involves heating metal to a high temperature and then quenching it in water or oil to achieve a hard, wear-resistant surface.
3. Tempering: A process that involves heating metal to a specific temperature and then cooling it slowly to achieve a balance of hardness and toughness.
4. Nitriding: A process that involves heating metal in a nitrogen-rich atmosphere to achieve a hard, wear-resistant surface.
