Solution Annealing Services

The process of solution annealing is typically applied to stainless steels and high nickel alloys for heat resistant and corrosion resistant applications. These are generally high temperature processes requiring rapid quenching.

The most common application of the solution annealing process is used for authenticate stainless steels.

Solution annealing in stainless steels improves corrosion resistance by putting carbides into solution in the micro structural matrix.

The purpose of solution annealing is to dissolve any precipitates present in the material, and transform the material at the solution annealing temperature into a single phase structure. At the end of the solution annealing process, the material is rapidly quenched down to room temperature to avoid any precipitation from occurring during cooling through lower temperature ranges.

We have our own annealing furnace with a capacity of up to 1 Metric Ton to a temperature of 1200 degree celcius
