Normalising can soften, harden or stress relieve a material, depending on its initial state.
The objective of the treatment is to counter the effects of prior processes, such as casting, forging or rolling, by refining the existing non-uniform structure into one which enhances machine-ability / formability or meets final mechanical property requirements.
We operate a sealed quench furnace through which we are able to offer oil hardening, case-hardening, annealing, normalising and ageing.
