The modern hardening shop equipment ensures optimum hardness and strength for the dies, guarantees the excellent quality of our products, and enables high-quality heat treatment services. The process line, based
on a CASEMASTER AFS 10ER furnace, performs heat and thermo-chemical treatments at temperatures up to 1000°C in a methane-based endothermic atmosphere.
The hardening, tempering and annealing processes are carried out using PEK and BREW10 furnaces with a nitrogen atmosphere to protect steel from oxidation and possible decarburisation. There is also a spray washer with a drying chamberto preserve the purity of the steel, both before and after the heat treatment processes.

PEK type furnace
The design of the furnace allows for hardening processes with the use of gradual heating from the ambient temperature and annealing processes. The nitrogen atmosphere protects the steel against oxidation and decarburization.

• heating chamber dimensions: 760x760x1200mm
• quenching in oil
• cooling after annealing: with the furnace or in the air
• working temperature: up to 1200 ° C
• maximum charge weight: 600kg

AFS10ER CaseMaster hardening furnace
The appropriate design of the furnace allows for heat and thermo-chemical treatment processes. The methane-based endothermic atmosphere is automatically regulated, which keeps the carbon potential constant during the quenching and carburizing process.

• heating chamber dimensions: 760x760x1220mm
• quenching in oil or polymer
• working temperature: up to 950 ° C
• maximum charge weight: 1000 kg

BREW type furnace 10
Tempering and annealing processes can be carried out in BREW furnaces. The nitrogen atmosphere protects the steel from oxidation.

• heating chamber dimensions: 760x760x1220mm
• cooling: with the stove or in the air
• working temperature: up to 700 ° C

WSD-10 shower washer
A two-chamber spray washer with a drying chamber keeps the steel clean before and after the hardening, annealing, carburizing and tempering processes. Chamber dimensions: 760x760x1220mm.

OQ10-12 bathtub
There is a hardening polymer in the additional tub. Cooling in the polymer is used when it is necessary to ensure adequate hardness after hardening for parts with low hardenability.
