Heat Treatment

The heat treatments at NiTEC can be used for stress relieving and de-embrittlement as both pre-plate and post-plate treatments. High temperature heat treatment solutions are used to diffuse the electroless nickel layer into the steel, giving a degree of flexibility to the coating without jeopardising the corrosion resistance of the deposit.  We have five furnaces at our facilities – small components can be loaded onto shelves to maximise the heat treatment capacity and minimise the cost of the treatment for our customers.

Benefits include:

• Increased flexibility
• Optimised capacity to reduce costs
• Maintains ENP corrosion protection
• Quality system ensures correct time achieved
• Quality system ensures correct temperatures achieved
• Eliminates heat sinks on larger components or mixed loads
