Thermofax Ltd

A series of operations in the course of which a solid product is totally or partially exposed to thermal cycles to bring about a change in its properties and/or structure. At Thermofax we offer a wide range of services dependant on material specifics, futher processing and customers own requests if a service is not listed below, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Heating and soaking at one or more specified temperatures, followed by appropriate cooling. - Age Hardening/Precipitation Hardening - Solution Treatment - Strain Ageing - Small Capacity Water Quench Materials Generally Processed - High Alloy Steels - Stainless Steels - Bolting Grades - Nimonic - Incoloy - Inconel - Hastelloy - Titanium - Monel Batch Sizes up to 2 Tonnes Lengths up to 2.7m

Heat Treatment consisting of austenetizing (the point at which the structure of the ferrous product becomes austenitic) followed by air cooling - Normalise - Normalise and Temper - High Temperature Softening - Solution Treatment

With over 45 years of experience within the heat treatment industry, our commitment to a quality product and customer satisfaction has been the backbone on which this family business has been built. Our purpose built batch furnaces can accommodate a wide variety of contracts and projects and being at the heart of the midlands, are ideally located for access around the country.

ur purpose built batch furnaces can accommodate a wide variety of contracts and projects and being at the heart of the midlands, are ideally located for access around the country. Typical furnace charges range in capacity from 1 Kilo to 30 Tonnes. Thermofax processes can be applied to: - Flat and Round Bar Stock - Ferrous and Non Ferrous Castings - Welded Fabrications - Heavy Forgings - Machined Parts - Manipulated Tube - Pressure Vessels - Profiles/Blanks/Plate/Slab - Rod and Wire Coil and Cut Lengths - Hot and Cold Rolled Sections - Fasteners and Springs

Heat Treatment including heating to and soaking at a suitable temperature followed by cooling at an appropriate rate in order to reduce the internal stresses without substantially modifying the structure. - Post Weld Stress Relieving to Procedure Including: ASME VIII, ASME IX, BS31.1, BS31.3, PD5500:2009 - Stabilizing Treatments - Profile or manipulation Stress Relief

Hardening of a ferrous product caused by precipitation of a compound from a supersaturated solid solution.

Spherodize Annealing: Prolonged holding at a temperature in the region of the Ac1 point, oscillating around this temperature in order to bring about the spherodization of the precipitated carbides.
