Aftertreatment

Heat treatment

Ultimately, a heat treatment determines the mechanical properties of the casting, while it is also necessary to remove any stresses that may have formed in the piece after casting. Especially for steel alloys, but also for many cast iron alloys, this procedure is absolutely imperative. Allard-Europe has four gas furnaces with fully computer-controlled temperature regulation, which can handle temperatures up to 1250 degrees Celsius. Allard-Europe uses water, polymers or forced air to quench the pieces.
