  • Salt bath heat treatment

    Salt bath quenching and tempering is a hardening process that aims at obtaining the required mechanical characteristics in order to bring steel to the required hardness.

    Salt bath quenching …

  • Oil heat treatment

    Oil quenching and tempering is a hardening treatment by oil quenching followed by one or more temperings in order to obtain the required mechanical properties. Specifically this heat treatment is …

  • Plasma nitriding

    Plasma nitriding is a thermochemical surface hardening process conducted at relatively low temperatures, normally comprised between 400 and 550°c in a gaseous mixture of nitrogen (n2) and hydrogen (h2).

  • Nitrocarburazione gassosa

    Gas nitrocarburising is a thermochemical surface hardening process conducted at relatively low temperatures, normally comprised between 370 and 650°c in a gaseous mixture of ammonia and carbon dioxide.

  • Gas nitriding

    Gas nitriding is a thermochemical surface hardening process conducted at relatively low temperatures, normally comprised between 520 and 540°c in a dissociated nitrogen atmosphere obtained from gaseous ammonia.

  • Low pressure carburising

    A thermo chemical treatment to obtain surface hardening on low carbon steels. The process increases surface carbon content in a pulsating vacuum atmosphere and ends with pressurised nitrogen quencing.

  • Solution treatment

    Solution treatment applies to austenitic stainless steels. The process is carried out by heating to high temperatures (1050-1200°C) followed by rapid cooling.

    This heat treatment brings into solution …

  • Ageing

    Ageing is performed to obtain hardening of the so called precipitation hardening alloys.

    The process is carried out by heating to specific temperatures in order to bring into …

  • Vacuum heat treatment

    Vacuum quenching and tempering is the hardening of steel by means of quenching followed by one or more temperings with the purpose to obtain the mechanical features requested. Particularly, the …

  • Plasox

    Plasox ® is a thermochemical surface hardening process conducted at relatively low temperatures, normally comprised between 400 and 550°c in a gaseous mixture of nitrogen (n2), hydrogen (h2) and methane …

  • Cryogenic Treatment

    Particularly suitable for the applications where maximum dimensional stability is required (least deformations of the treated pieces), the cryogenic (or "subzero") treatment allows toll steels to reach the maximum hardness …
