Steel hardening

Do you have components that are frequently exposed to intensive friction, pressure, or impact? Steel hardening is a heat treatment that increases the hardness and wear resistance of steel. This process not only improves service life but also enhances the reliability of critical components. Steel hardening is a thermal post-treatment that PTB Machinefabriek offers exclusively as part of broader production processes.

Why have steel hardened?

Steel hardening gives components greater resistance to wear, deformation, and mechanical stress. This treatment is particularly suitable for parts that are continuously moving or under load. Think of gears, shafts, machine guides, or other critical components that must perform under heavy conditions. By hardening steel, these components last significantly longer and maintain their precision. The treatment focuses on functional performance and directly contributes to higher quality. Hardened steel reduces maintenance requirements and prevents costly downtime caused by wear.

Steel hardening within PTB Machinefabriek’s process

PTB applies steel hardening only as part of larger production trajectories such as machining or machine construction. The hardening process is fully aligned with the production method, required tolerances, and any subsequent finishing of components. This ensures consistent quality, one clear point of contact, and short communication lines throughout your project. Thanks to this integrated approach, steel hardening contributes to a superior end product. The treatment is scheduled at exactly the right stage in the production process for maximum effectiveness.
