IN-HOUSE SERVICES THAT DELIVER SAVINGS
Heat treatment is a process involving heating of a metal/alloy at a specific rate, holding it at a temperature for a period of time and cooling it at a specific rate. It is performed to obtain a desired microstructure and achieve certain physical or mechanical properties.
We are proud to have an in house heat treatment facility which includes:
2 Gas Fired Furnaces which are both 800kg max capacity. These are both calibrated to AMS2750E and API6A surveyed for the following ranges:
Furnace 1 – Up to 860 Deg C – used for Hardening, Normalising and Annealing
Furnace 2 – Up to 720 Deg C – Used for Tempering, Stress Relieving / Sub Critical Annealing
Each furnace above has 9 calibrated thermocouples. All controllers and recorders for the furnaces are calibrated and traceable to UKAS standards. This allows us to produce accurate furnace time/temperature charts through ‘review’ software.
Our capabilities also include 2 agitated quench tanks, Oil and Water, to be used in quenching and solution annealing operations.
After heat treatment we can shotblast and perform MPI testing in line with customer requirements.
This was my first time using Brockhouse, the service they provided was very friendly, efficient and easy.
