Preparation

Incoming and interstage heat treated coils of raw material or wire are cleaned chemically and coated with Lime, Borax, Phosphate, Stearate, Copper or Bonderlube ready for the next stage of production. Incoming hot rolled bars are shotblasted and in line lubricated.

Heat Treatment

Materials can be spheroidise or machinability annealed, normalised, using atmosphere controlled or batch methods, hardened & tempered and/or stress relieved.
