Avoiding or correcting undesired effects of a production process

Processing metal can have undesired effects on the properties of the material. Examples of this are stresses that may cause cracks as a result of welding work, or disrupted material structures caused by casting work or material deformation. At Smit Heat Treatment, we possess the right knowledge and experience to help you with these issues.

Softening materials for further processing

Softer basic material increases the life span of your processing machines and tools. The softer the basic material, the longer machines and tools last. Furthermore, a material with the correct hardness to be machined will produce a higher quality product, and the risk of subsequent cracking is significantly reduced. At Smit Heat Treatment, we have the right knowledge and experience to help you with these issues.

Hardening materials and/or improving their resistance to wear

You will be aware of the hardening of materials if hardness and wear resistance determine the quality of your products. Hardness and wear resistance properties are improved by means of hardening or refining and tempering steel. At Smit Heat Treatment, we have the right knowledge and experience to help you with this and more.

Strengthening material

Undesired uneven material structures can be created as a result of various treatments, such as casting, rolling, welding or shaping, and this may produce incorrect mechanical properties. Heat treatment can be used to negate the undesired effects of these treatments, and the material is reset, as it were, to its original state. At Smit Heat Treatment, we have the right knowledge and experience to help you with this and more.
