Heat treatment

Heating up for pressing and heat treatments are performed in furnaces with programmed heat supply (the largest furnace having a clear space of 7500 x 6400 x 2000 mm). Specific material requirements, e. g. specific requirements for heating or cooling procedures, can be met.

In addition to TÜV or manufacurer's approvals, shop surveys and audits, our heat treatment facilities are regularly checked by our quality team for temperature accuracy according to AD-W0 and AD-HP0. For decades, TÜV inspectors have checked, approved and recognized our hot pressing process as being equivalent to a normalizing heat treatment.

If there are no other requirements set by codes, standards or customer's specifications, a subsequent normalizing heat treatment of our heads and pressed parts therefore is not necessary.
