Heat Treatment

Atashgah Steel Company, utilizing two separate halls for heat treatment, has the ability to perform a variety of heat treatment processes on its produced alloys. These processes are carried out in two main categories: heavy furnaces and semi-heavy and light furnaces, enabling heat treatment on parts ranging from small to large and extra-heavy sizes.

Each alloy requires specific heat treatment processes depending on its chemical structure and industrial application. The following table shows the specific heat treatment processes for each alloy:

Alloy GroupHeat Treatment ProcessDescription of Operation
Ni-Hard Cast Iron1. Preheating | 2. Austenitizing | 3. Air Quenching | 4. TemperingIncrease hardness, wear resistance, and toughness
Ductile Cast Iron (Malleable)1. Annealing | 2. Normalizing | 3. Quenching and TemperingOptimize mechanical properties and increase strength
High Chromium Cast Iron (Hi-Cr)1. Homogenization | 2. Austenitizing | 3. Air QuenchingIncrease wear and corrosion resistance
Manganese Steels (Hadfield)1. High temperature solution treatment | 2. Rapid water quenchingIncrease toughness and impact resistance
High Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels1. Normalizing | 2. Surface hardening | 3. Quenching and TemperingIncrease surface hardness and mechanical strength
Austenitic and Martensitic Wear-Resistant Steels1. Austenitizing | 2. Air Quenching | 3. TemperingIncrease wear resistance and optimize toughness
Tool Steels1. Preheating | 2. Austenitizing | 3. Air Quenching | 4. TemperingIncrease hardness and fatigue resistance
Stainless Steels1. Annealing | 2. Solution hardening | 3. Tempering or NitridingImprove corrosion resistance and mechanical properties
  • Heavy furnaces: For operations on large and heavy parts such as mill liners, industrial gears, and mining equipment
  • Semi-heavy and light furnaces: Suitable for operations on smaller parts such as crusher hammers, anti-wear parts, and precision engineering parts
  • Use of temperature control and data recording systems: All processes are carried out under precise temperature and timing control to ensure optimal mechanical properties.
    • Increase the service life of parts by optimizing hardness and strength
    • Reduce maintenance costs in mining, steel, cement and copper industries
    • Improve resistance to wear, impact and corrosion
