Hardening process
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.
