Codere SA offers heat treatment equipment specifically designed to support these requirements. With our HTView supervision software, full traceability, advanced data recording, and remote-control functionalities are ensured—matching the stringent expectations of medical device manufacturers.
Hardening heat treatment process
Hardening is a heat treatment process that consists of heating steel components to the appropriate temperature to form austenite, followed by rapid cooling in a quenching medium.
During quenching (gas, salt, oil or water), the austenitic structure transforms into martensite or bainitic, significantly increasing hardness and mechanical strength.
Hardness after quenching depends primarily on the carbon content of the steel, as well as the quenching speed and atmosphere conditions. Neutral hardening is typically performed under precisely controlled protective atmospheres to ensure clean component surfaces and consistent metallurgical properties.
