Heat treatment of high-speed steels

Tools treated in our salts are well known for their superior quality. Due to the highest temperature uniformity and quickest heat transfer a fine grain structure with the corresponding proportion of solute carbides is achieved. Pre eutectoid carbide precipitation at the grain boundaries or local formation of intermediate structure are avoided. Our technology provides benefits like:

  • Highest hardness combined with excellent toughness
  • Partial hardening easy realizable
  • Ideal quenching conditions regardless of part diameter
  • Lowest distortion compared to other hardening processes
