Bulk Heat Treatments
Strength, hardness and structural stability for high-performance results
Bulk heat treatments involve the application of controlled heating and cooling cycles for defined times, at specific temperatures and in controlled atmospheres. These processes modify the internal structure of the material throughout its entire volume, in order to achieve precise mechanical properties aligned with the required service conditions.
These treatments improve the performance of components in operation, increasing mechanical strength, surface hardness and dimensional stability.
Gaser Group carries out bulk heat treatments on a wide variety of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, including: tool steels, structural steels, stainless steels, special steels, brass, copper, aluminum and cast iron.
Bulk heat treatments are used in a broad range of industries:
automotive, general engineering, aerospace, energy, Oil & Gas, hydraulics, pneumatics, plant engineering, food and pharmaceuticals.
Advantages of Bulk Heat Treatments
Improved mechanical performance
Bulk heat treatments enhance wear and fatigue resistance, increasing the hardness and mechanical strength of components
Long-term dimensional stability
Internal stresses can be reduced, ensuring greater geometric stability, reliability, and efficiency in subsequent machining
Flexibility
We define the most suitable treatment based on the material, geometry and final use of the component, thanks to our consolidated in-house metallurgical expertise
High surface quality
Processes carried out in controlled atmosphere or under vacuum preserve surface integrity and ensure optimal results for any subsequent treatments
