HEAT TREATMENT COVENTRY LTD

Metal Heat Treatment Services

Specification-led subcontract heat treatment and surface preparation for engineering and manufacturing customers.

Processes Available

  • Case Hardening Services — Case hardening is used where a hard, wear-resistant surface is required together with a tougher supporting core.
  • Steel Carburising Services — Carburising enriches the surface of suitable steel with carbon so that a hard case can be developed over a tougher core.
  • Carbonitriding Heat Treatment — Carbonitriding introduces carbon and nitrogen into the surface of suitable steels before hardening to develop a wear-resistant case.
  • Steel Hardening and Tempering — Hardening and tempering develops a controlled balance of hardness, strength and toughness in suitable steels.
  • Tool Steel Heat Treatment and Hardening — Tool steels require grade-specific heat treatment to develop hardness, wear resistance and service performance.
  • Annealing and Normalising Services — Annealing and normalising are controlled thermal treatments used to modify structure, hardness, machinability and the condition of suitable metals.
  • Stress Relief Heat Treatment — Stress relieving uses controlled heating and cooling to reduce residual stresses introduced by manufacturing.
  • Age and Precipitation Hardening — Age hardening develops strength and hardness in suitable precipitation-hardening alloys through a controlled thermal cycle.
  • Metal and Steel Shot Blasting — Industrial shot blasting cleans and prepares metal surfaces using propelled abrasive media in controlled equipment.

Start with the Material and Requirement

The correct route depends on material grade, prior condition, section size, geometry and the property required in service. Send the drawing, specification and quantity so the job can be reviewed without assumptions.
