Hardening

High-Precision, Clean Heat Treatment

At Shiv Heat-Tech (Bharat) Pvt. Ltd. we understand that when it comes to critical components, there's no room for compromise. Our vacuum hardening services are designed to deliver exceptional hardness, durability, and dimensional accuracy—without affecting the surface quality of your parts.

Whether you're manufacturing high-performance tools or precision parts for aerospace, automotive, or medical applications, we're here to help you get the results you need—consistently and reliably.

What Is Vacuum Hardening?

High-Precision, Clean Heat Treatment

Vacuum hardening is a heat treatment process carried out in a specially designed vacuum furnace. In this process, steel parts are heated to a specific temperature (called austenitizing), held for a precise duration, and then cooled (quenched) using high-pressure inert gas.

The big advantage? This process takes place in a completely controlled, oxygen-free environment, so your components come out:

  • Hard and wear-resistant
  • Bright and clean (no scale, oxidation, or decarburization)
  • Dimensionally accurate with minimal distortion

This makes vacuum hardening the go-to choice for parts that need to meet tight tolerances and perform under stress.

Hardening - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Vacuum hardening is a heat treatment process where steel components are heated in a vacuum furnace to a high temperature (austenitizing), then rapidly cooled using high-pressure inert gas. This process improves hardness, strength, and wear resistance while keeping the surface clean and oxidation-free.
