Austemper

  • Ideal for small springs and steel pressings
  • Produces a tough ductile structure
  • Minimal distortion compared with other processes
  • Common Materials CS67 / CS70 / SAE1060 with thicknesses 0.2 to 3mm
  • Parts are plating friendly with clean surfaces
  • Alpha-Rowen has over 20 years specific experience of this process
  • Equipment developed to maximise process efficiency and reliability

Vibratory Deburring

  • Using abrasive media and the motion of the bowl to remove burrs and round edges
  • We can reduce your total lead time by processing on site at Alpha-Rowen
  • Parts processed in waiting time for delivery / collection

Case Hardening

  • Controlled Gas additions allow us to increase the steels’ carbon content
  • Increase impact and wear resistance on mild steel components

Oil Hardening

  • Allows the hardening of thicker components or lower grade steels compared to Austemper
  • Tempering allows the optimum properties of strength and toughness to meet design requirements
  • Components processed in a controlled atmosphere
  • Currently through a sealed quench furnace but soon to be available on a continuous basis as well

Stress Reducing Processes

We also offer stress relieving, annealing and normalising. These processes are designed to prepare materials for the next processing step by reducing residual stress.
