...OUR RANGE OF SERVICES. HEAT TREATMENT For heat treatment, AIMD in Essingen provides an induction heating system for individual bars in the Ø 18 105 mm dimension range. The heat treatment is available in accordance with EN or the bolt property classes 8.8 / 10.9 / 12.9. The following processing steps can be directly added to the production line: Peeling/burnishing/ chamfering as well as sawing/processing. Based in Aalen, AIMD s subsidiary OWZ (Ostalb-Warmbehandlungszentrum GmbH) is a specialist in the heat treatment of steel and forged parts. The heat treatment takes place in an open furnace atmosphere with 5 chamber ovens and a charging weight of 15 tonnes each time. The maximum component size that can be introduced is 8*2*0.8 m. The quenching can be carried out in an oil or water bath of 80 m 3 or a so-called air shower, in which the parts are cooled by a regulated flow of air. At our Essingen location, we provide the following services:. Induction heating system for individual bars, Ø 18 105 mm At the heat treatment centre in Aalen, we can perform the following range of processes:. Normalising. Soft annealing. Heat treatment (oil or water quenching). Stress-relief annealing. Recrystallisation annealing. Diffusion annealing. Isothermal annealing. GKZ annealing (only in an open atmosphere). Cold shear annealing. Heat treatment for improved processability in accordance with EN 10083 (BG, BF and coarse grain annealing). Heat treatment for improved tensile strength and structure in accordance with EN 10084 www.owz-aalen.de PEELING, BURNISHING, CHAMFERING As your competent partner for bright steel products, AIMD carries out the machining of round steel on centreless peeling machines at its in-house facilities. The straightened bar is processed by a rotating cutter head with wide chip removal, and is then burnished. The process includes straightening in accordance with EN 10278 as well as an improvement of the surface roughness. In addition, corrosion protection is also guaranteed during burnishing. The peeling method, which takes place under constant quality control, makes close tolerances possible. With the fully automatic eddy current crack testing system from Dr. Förster, the material directly in production can be safely checked for near-surface defects in accordance with EN 10277-1, surface quality class 4 (upon customer request). The mechanical chamfering of the bright steel at an angle of 30, 45 or 60 will subsequently take place if requested. Service spectrum: Material strength Diameter Bar length Tolerance range Possible diameter for chamfering 500 1250 MPa Ø 16 102 mm 2,9 7,8 m up to h9 in accordance with EN 10278 Ø 20 80 mm 12 13
