Heat treatment

Want to get the most out of metal parts?
Use heat treatment to improve mechanical properties.

What is it?

A material processing process that primarily affects the microstructure and material properties of alloys. The part is heated and cooled in a controlled manner
in a protected atmosphere in a furnace. Heat treatment takes place at defined temperatures and times.

What is it used for?

Heat treatment is the basic technological treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in order to modify mechanical and material properties such as strength, ductility, elasticity, microstructure, etc.

Main advantages

  • Improvement of mechanical properties
  • Stabilization of AM parts
  • Reduction of internal stress of AM parts
