Toughening

Toughening

The goal of toughening, a specialized heat treatment procedure, is to increase metal components' fracture toughness and impact resistance without appreciably reducing their strength. Brittle failure is less likely when the material's microstructure is optimized to absorb energy under stress through precisely regulated heating and cooling cycles. For parts that are subjected to dynamic or shock loading, like tools, structural elements, and automobile parts, this process is perfect. In demanding applications, our toughening services improve performance and durability by ensuring a consistent balance between hardness and ductility.
