Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is a process utilized to change certain mechanical characteristics of metal and alloy in order to make them more suitable for a particular kind application. Heat treatment can greatly influence mechanical properties such as Strength, Hardness, Ductility, Toughness and Wear resistance of the alloys.
LGB has capabilities of carrying out variety of Heat Treatment processes like Through Hardening & Tempering, Case Hardening, Carburizing, Nitriding, Carbonitriding, Aus tempering, Chromizing, etc.,.
Strength and life of various LGB products are enhanced by suitable heat treatment process.
