Forming, Hardening and Preheating

In hot forming, the part to be formed is heated locally and then formed by the application of an external force.

Flame hardening can be used to achieve partial surface hardening of bearing seats on shafts or the wearing surfaces on rolls.

In welding of certain materials, preheating must be carried out to avoid hardening cracks. After welding, stress relief heat treatment may be necessary in order to reduce welding stresses.
