FLAME HARDENING AND STEEL HEAT TREATING SERVICES
Flame hardening — a heat treatment process that creates a hardened outer surface through exposure to high-temperature flame — can be applied to whole components or isolated to specific areas of steel parts to enhance surface hardness while maintaining the toughness and ductility.
PROPERTIES
- Increased Surface Hardness: Flame hardening boosts the toughness of a material’s surface, making it more resistant to scratches and dents.
- Improved Wear Resistance: Treated surfaces can better withstand wear and tear, prolonging the material’s lifespan.
- Reduced Friction: Flame hardening cuts down on friction, benefiting machinery parts.
- Enhanced Fatigue Strength: The material can endure repeated stress without breaking.
- Cost-Effective: Flame hardening delivers high-quality results at an affordable cost.
