Hardening Ferro-Titanit®

Heat Treatment

Ferro-Titanit® can be hardened with very low distortion – dimensional change always remains below 0.1 %. Pre-machining to near-net shape is possible; post-hardening rework is reduced to a minimum.

Wärmebehandlungsanlage

The extreme low-distortion behaviour makes Ferro-Titanit® the ideal choice for precision-critical applications. Components can be machined almost to finished dimensions and then hardened – without any significant geometric change.

Recommended process

Hardening in vacuum furnace

Hardening is preferably carried out in a vacuum furnace – this avoids oxidation and decarburisation of the component surface. Detailed parameters for each grade are given in the material data sheets in the download area.
