Heat Treatment
At INSPECTA Middle East, our Heat Treatment Services are designed to optimize the mechanical properties of metals and alloys, ensuring they meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications. Heat treatment is a critical process in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, power plants, and heavy manufacturing, where material performance under extreme conditions is crucial.
What is Heat Treatment?
Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) refers to a heat treatment of machined surfaces/welds after undergoing machining/welding to accommodate their mechanical and chemical properties. Welding causes residual stresses that cause long-term structural deterioration in a structure. Also, in more complex or larger parts/structures, increasing stresses increase.
When joining metals during the welding process, different degrees of hardening occur, especially in the heat affected zone by the effects of the weld metal patch, depending on the carbon content in the metals. Residual stresses in the structure increase significantly due to solidification and melting, and their magnitude becomes almost equal to the main distribution flow spread.
Typically, PWHT is used to reduce residual stresses and resist brittle fracture. In addition, PWHT can also lead to increased material strength and duration of hardness. Voltage suppression and post-start are the most commonly used PWHT transmissions. The application and code requirements and service environment are primarily geared towards PWHT.
Our Heat Treatment Services Include
- Annealing: Softens materials for improved machinability and ductility.
- Normalizing: Refines grain structure to enhance toughness.
- Quenching: Increases hardness through rapid cooling.
- Tempering: Reduces brittleness while maintaining hardness.
- Stress Relieving: Minimizes residual stresses to prevent cracking.
- Carburizing: Hardens the surface while keeping a tough core.
- Induction Hardening: Improves wear resistance in specific areas.
