Heat Treatment of Metals at PROTEC ensures durable, dimensionally stable and wear-resistant steel components through precision-controlled heat treatment cycles tailored to project requirements. Our industrial heat treatment services combine advanced furnace control with expertise in hardening and tempering steel for long-lasting performance.
What We Do
At PROTEC, Heat Treatment of Metals covers oil-quench hardening and tempering in chamber furnaces with accurate temperature control to achieve consistent mechanical properties and stability.
The process enhances surface and core strength, then balances toughness with elasticity to match the operating loads of each application.
We provide controlled heat treatment processes that ensure repeatable outcomes, uniform hardness and minimal distortion — essential for precision steel components.
Technologies and Equipment
We use an oil quench tank and chamber furnaces operating from 100°C to 1260°C, enabling precise control across a wide range of steel grades.
Furnace chamber dimensions 350 x 500 x 300 mm allow processing of diverse parts while ensuring even heating, safe handling and reproducible results.
-
Controlled furnaces for consistent temperature profiles and hardness outcomes.
-
Oil quenching for efficient martensite formation with reduced distortion.
-
Tempering cycles tuned to target hardness and service requirements.
Our precision heat treatment technology guarantees quality and uniformity for every batch.
Hardening and Tempering of Steel
Hardening increases hardness and wear resistance by transforming the steel’s microstructure, improving its performance under demanding conditions.
Tempering follows to restore toughness and elasticity, ensuring the right balance between strength and resistance to fatigue and impact.
-
Targeted properties: hardness, wear resistance, dimensional stability.
-
Application-oriented settings: part geometry, alloy grade, load profile.
-
Documented parameters for full quality assurance and traceability.
This combination makes our steel heat treatment services ideal for high-stress industrial components.
