Through Hardening - Metal Treatment Services
Through Hardening Description:
Hardening process that is achieved by austenising and quenching with a carbon neutral atmosphere (i.e. no carbon enrichment). This will provide a tensile strength (throughout the part) upon quenching which is tempered primarily to increase the ductility and toughness.
Component suitability:
Axles, shafts, bushes, pins
Advantages of Through Hardening:
Through hardening can provide high strength throughout the part.
Typical materials:
4140, XK1340, High carbon bearing steels, tool steels
Through Hardening Furnace types available at MTS
Sealed quenched furnaces, rotary retort furnaces.
Possible limitations.
Distortion of component could be expected and a grinding allowance may be necessary.
