Sub-Zero Hardening
Cryogenic treatment (-145°C) ensures precise dimensional stability and zero distortion.
HEAT TREATMENT
Vacuum Heat Treatment for Superior Tool Quality
Using state-of-the-art heat treatment technology in the -145°C to +1350°C temperature range, we deliver deep cryogenic hardening and 10 bar high-pressure gas quenching.
TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES
Minimal Distortion, Homogeneous Microstructure
Operating one of the nation's most modern vacuum heat treatment facilities in Lőrinci, we perform thermal cycles from -145°C to +1350°C.
Deep cryogenic hardening provides precise dimensional stability, while 10 bar gas quenching achieves a homogeneous core microstructure even in large tools, helping prevent cracking, distortion, and extensive rework.
10 Bar Gas Quenching
Achieves uniform core microstructure even in massive tool steel blocks.
Vacuum Processing
Clean, oxide-free thermal cycles avoiding surface decarburization in Lőrinci.
Parallel Tempering
Mühel furnace operates parallel tempering cycles alongside the Schmetz vacuum unit.
MATERIALS & CAPACITIES
High-Quality Heat Treatment for Tool Steels
We process cold work, hot work, high-speed, and plastic mold tool steels backed by two synchronized furnaces and laboratory testing instruments.
01
Cold Work Tool Steels
Stable thermal cycles ensuring wear resistance for stamping and punching dies.
02
Hot Work Tool Steels
Optimized for thermal shock resistance in forging and die-casting tooling.
03
High-Speed Steels (HSS)
Specialized high-temperature hardening cycles for cutting and machining tools.
04
Plastic Mold Steels
Precision thermal processing maintaining high polishability and dimensional control.
We heat treat cold work, hot work, high-speed, and plastic mold tool steels.
To maximize efficiency, primary vacuum thermal processing takes place in our Schmetz furnace while secondary tempering occurs simultaneously in the Mühel furnace.
Supported by material testing instruments, the two systems guarantee premium quality in Lőrinci.
