TUBE ANNEALING AND HEAT TREATINGS

Subjecting a metal to tube annealing, means bringing it to a certain temperature, for a certain amount of time, and then letting it cool.

In the tube annealing, the arrival temperature and the holding time are always determined by the heat treating themselves.

GAMMA 3 fits into the field of tube heat treatings for an internal need for tube annealing for processing, but also for third parties.

We also have an automatic cut-to-length tube cutting line for a fast, precise, and competitive cutting of metal tubes for third parties, which can be supplied with a subsequent annealing. For the company’s usual processes, such as for example tube end forming, tube bending, and tube tapering, heat treatments on metal tubes have always been a constant necessity.

Metal tube annealing consists of bringing the material to a temperature that varies according to the material itself, and then allowing it to cool naturally and gently.

After undergoing heat treatments, the material changes its hardness and elasticity characteristics, which also vary according to the established temperatures and times.

Precisely for this reason, annealing is of great importance to GAMMA 3.

GAMMA3, to perform heat treatments on tubes and beyond, has an advanced controlled-atmosphere furnace.

The good loading volume, and the excellent length of the internal chamber, up to 3.2 meters, allow for tube annealing to be performed on all the sizes processed by the company itself.

Heat treatments performed by GAMMA 3 are all carried out in a controlled pressure and vacuum chamber, thus avoiding the potential problem of scale formation, oxides, flares, and other problematic conditions for cleaning.

Annealing can be performed on iron, brass, and aluminum, for example to bring it to the T4 state suitable for deformation.

Other available heat treatments are stress relieving, normalizing, quenching and tempering (or full heat treatment), and tempering.

However, hardening (quenching) is not possible, as it requires other types of high-temperature furnaces, nor is the annealing of AISI stainless steel.

A good load capacity of the furnace allows our customers to achieve significant cost containment with a complete batch, and a heat treatment that is certainly homogeneous, deeper, and which does not alter the shape or section of the tube.
