Thermofax Ltd

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 Materials Generally Processed - Carbon and Alloy Steels - Petrochemical Grades - Power Generation Grades Batches up to 30 Tonnes Maximum single bar length - 9.3m

Heat Treatment consisting of Heating and Soaking at a suitable temperature followed by cooling under conditions such that, after return to ambient temperature, the metal will be in a structural state closer to that of equilibrium Thermofax Ltd process to the following technical conditions: Full Annealing: Performed at a temperature above the Ac3 point. Inter Critical Annealing: Performed at a temperature between the Ac1 and Ac3 points. Isothernal Annealing: Annealing involoving Austenetizing followed by cooling which is interrupted by soaking for a period at a temperature at which the transformation from austenite into ferrite and pearlite, or cementite and pearlite is complete. Solution Annealing: Applied to austenitic steels. Consisting of heating to a high temperature followed by cooling sufficiently rapidly to preserve a homogenous austenitic structure on return to ambient temperatures. 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. Sub Critical Annealing: Annealing at a temperature slightly below the Ac1 point. Materials Generally Processed - Carbon and Alloy Steels - Stainless Steels - Tool Steel - Boron Steel - Non-Ferrous Metals - High Temperature Steels - Corrosion Resistant Steels - Bolting Grades - Petrochemical Grades - Power Generation Grades - Nickel Alloys Batch Sizes up to 30 Tonnes Max Length 8.0m
