Flame hardening is an oxy-acetylene heating process used to produce a hard case on the surface of a wide range of mechanical components. Burning fuel gas impinges directly on the surface to be hardened. When the surface reaches the austenizing temperature, the part is immediately quenched to produce a locally hardened surface.
Typical flame hardening applications include blades for turbine engines, gears for paper machinery, rolls for the printing and metalworking industries, cams for packaging machinery, machine tool beds, and automotive components.
Cost reductions occur as a result of the reduced distortion, allowance for straightening, and elimination of operations associated with flame hardening.
The use of flow controls, infra-red temperature sensors, and automated parts feeding insures conformance to your engineering specifications. Magnetic Particle Inspection is performed on a sample of all lots processed. Documentation is maintained for each order for a period of five years.
