| When looking at last years' developments regarding advanced technology, it becomes clear that the field of hardened or finished components cannot be dismissed. |
 |
| In engineering technology, there are many examples of the application of various hardening methods to machine components. |
 |
| Heat treatment leads to enhanced strength of a part. |
 |
| Thanks to heat treatment, components not only feature a higher resistance to wear and therefore a longer service life, but it makes new designs possible. |
 |
| This helps for example to save weight and also reduces the sizes of components. |
 |
| LWK provides the following hardening processes and downstream applications/services: |
 |
| Hardening and tempering |
| Vacuum hardening |
| Case hardening |
| Annealing |
| Boriding |
| Chromising |
