Solution Treatment
Solution Treatment
Homogeneous Microstructure for Stainless Steels & Superalloys
Solution annealing or solution treatment heats austenitic stainless steels and nickel-base alloys to high temperatures to dissolve precipitated carbides into solid solution, followed by rapid quenching to prevent re-precipitation.
Key Specifications
Restores Maximum Corrosion Resistance & Eliminates Work Hardening
Essential for fabricated stainless steel vessels, welded pipe spools, and deep-drawn components to eliminate intergranular corrosion risks and restore peak ductility.
Industrial Components & Alloys
Used in chemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, and marine sectors.
Chemical & Petrochemical Flanges
Forged pipe flanges, high-pressure fittings, and reactor nozzles.
Duplex & Super Duplex Castings
Pump impellers, valve bodies, and marine seawater manifolds.
Deep Drawn Components
Stainless steel drawn shells, heat exchanger tubes, and baffles.
Nuclear & Cryogenic Parts
Sensitized welded assemblies requiring complete carbide re-solution.
Intergranular Corrosion (IGC) Testing Compliance
Certified testing including ASTM A262 Practice A/E intergranular corrosion testing and ferrite count measurement to guarantee absolute corrosion resistance.
Other Heat Treatment Services
Vacuum Hardening
Delivers bright, oxidation-free hardening with minimal distortion.
Gas Carburising
Enhances surface hardness while maintaining a tough core for improved durability.
Gas Nitriding
Produces a hard, wear-resistant surface without compromising core strength.
