Our Solution Annealing services offer precision and reliability for a range of applications. This heat treatment process involves heating materials to a specific temperature, followed by controlled cooling, effectively eliminating impurities and enhancing material properties including microstructure and grainsize.
Process:
This service employs austenitic stainless steel grades, primarily from the 300 series. Our process involves heating the material to 1080-1150 degrees Celsius, allowing carbon to dissolve into the solution. Swift cooling follows to maintain the carbon within the solution. This results in stainless steel in its utmost corrosion-resistant and ductile properties .
Advantages of Vacuum Annealing over conventional Annealing:
- No oxidation or de-carb on component/ part surface
- Minimum dimensional distortion
- Uniform microstructure due to better process control
Products:
- Stainless steel and Inconel gaskets/ seals
- hydraulic fittings
- stainless steel tubing& bellows
- stainless steel pipes (up to 1200 mm length)
- duplex stainless-steel parts for the oil and gas industry etc.
Steel Grades Heat Treated:
Austenitic Stainless-Steel Grades such as SS 316, SS 304, SS 301, SS 303, SS 316L, Duplex Stainless Steels, Inconel 600, 625, 718, 825
