IMO can perform the following heat treatment processes:

• Normalization

• Annealing

• Quenching and Tempering

• Normalization and Tempering

• Solution annealing

Heat treatment is a crucial phase of production as it aims to accentuate the mechanical, physical, and structural properties of materials through controlled heating and cooling cycles in dedicated furnaces and tanks.

Heat treatment improves certain characteristics such as strength, hardness, ductility, and toughness, making the components more suitable for specific application needs.

From materials used in oil and gas to components for the nuclear and transport sectors, this production process ensures high performance and longer product life, ensuring reliability and safety in the most critical conditions.
