Heat treatment is a thermal process that accomplishes three primary improvements to the material properties of metal castings:

1、Improving mechanical properties

2、Enhancing corrosion resistance

3、Reducing residual stresses

The heat treatment process begins with heating the metal casting to the desired temperature before cooling the metal in a controlled way to achieve the desired improvements.  This heating and cooling process “locks in” the final metal microstructure and the improved material properties.

Performing heat treatment allows DQcasting to fully meet customer specifications while limiting lead times.  Our staff of metallurgists are experts at collaborating with customers to achieve the exact material properties that they need.

Metal castings can require multiple heat treatment cycles, so heat treating on-site can dramatically save time.  Our customers can rest assured that our experts will have answers and can complete the process quickly and correctly.  From start to finish of any casting project, all processes and steps can be done at DQcasting.
