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.
