Case hardening by HIGHTEMP Furnaces is a precision heat treatment process that strengthens the outer surface of components like gears, shafts, bolts, cams, and sliders while keeping the core tough and impact-resistant. This creates a hard, wear-resistant shell that protects against abrasion and fatigue, ideal for parts under constant load and motion.
The process involves exposing low-carbon or alloy steel parts to a carbon- or nitrogen-rich atmosphere at high temperatures, followed by rapid cooling to form a hard martensitic layer. HIGHTEMP uses advanced methods such as carburizing, nitriding, carbonitriding and nitrocarburising to deliver superior results. The outcome is longer part life, improved surface strength, and cost-effective performance using standard base materials.

Case Hardening Furnaces

Integral Batch Sealed Quench Furnace
Sealed Quench Furnace (SQF) is used for high-precision heat treatment primarily in auto components industry. This allows heat treatment for carbon steel to reach the desired hardness and strength. The furnace feature allows the materials to be processed in batches rather than continuous operation. HIGHTEMP is the leading manufacturer of Sealed Quench Furnace in India that provides a global clientele, with sales volume exceeding 500+.

Pit Type Furnace
Pit Furnace, also known as Pit-type Furnace, is an Industrial furnace used for heat treatment processes such as annealing, tempering, and hardening. The Pit Furnace is designed as a deep vertical cylindrical or rectangular chamber which can accommodate various sizes and shapes of materials. HIGHTEMP’s Pit Furnace is typically installed in a pit or deep chamber either below ground level or at ground level, which allows for easy loading and unloading of components.
