Controlled Forging Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is inseparable from forging quality — it transforms the microstructure and develops the mechanical properties that make a forged component perform reliably in service. Our in-house heat treatment capability ensures tight control over temperature, atmosphere and cooling rate for every batch.
Heat Treatment Processes We Offer
Hardening & Quenching
Through-hardening to develop maximum core strength and hardness in alloy steel forgings.
Tempering
Post-hardening tempering to achieve the right balance of hardness and toughness.
Annealing
Softening heat treatment to reduce hardness and improve machinability of forgings.
Stress Relieving
Removal of residual stresses from forging and machining for dimensional stability.
Case Hardening
Surface hardening of gear blanks, shafts and wear components while maintaining tough core.
Components We Heat Treat
Automotive Components
Axle shafts, gear blanks, wheel hubs and transmission parts heat treated for automotive service.
Industrial Shafts
Drive shafts and spindles hardened and tempered for required mechanical properties.
Gear Blanks
Case hardening of gear blanks for surface hardness with tough core for gear durability.
Tool Steel Components
Precision hardening of tool and die steel components for maximum wear resistance.
Structural Components
Normalizing and stress relieving of structural forgings for dimensional stability.
Custom Components
Heat treatment of any forged component per customer specification and material grade.
Why In-House Heat Treatment Matters
Single-Source Quality
Forging and heat treatment under one roof eliminates inter-supplier quality variation.
Process Control
Calibrated furnaces with temperature monitoring ensure consistent treatment results.
Faster Turnaround
Integrated heat treatment reduces total lead time compared to outsourced treatment.
Hardness Verification
100% Brinell or Rockwell hardness testing after heat treatment on every batch.
Material-Specific Expertise
We select cycles based on steel grade, component size and required properties.
Documentation
Heat treatment records, furnace charts and hardness test reports provided with supply.
Controlled Forging Heat Treatment
Shivam Forge provides comprehensive in-house heat treatment services for forged components as part of our integrated manufacturing capability. Our controlled heat treatment processes develop the required mechanical properties — strength, hardness, toughness and fatigue resistance — in forged components before CNC machining and delivery.
Heat treatment is a critical step in forged component manufacturing. The mechanical properties of a forged steel component are determined by its chemical composition (steel grade) and heat treatment cycle — forging alone is not sufficient. Our in-house heat treatment ensures that these properties are consistently achieved in every batch.
We operate calibrated furnaces with temperature monitoring and control systems to ensure consistent heat treatment results. Our metallurgical knowledge covers the full range of carbon steel and alloy steel grades we forge, allowing us to select the correct normalizing, hardening, tempering or case hardening cycle for each material and component.
By combining forging and heat treatment under one roof, Shivam Forge eliminates the quality variation and lead time delays associated with outsourced heat treatment. Customers receive forged components with verified mechanical properties, documented heat treatment records and hardness test certificates as standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What heat treatment services does Shivam Forge provide?
We provide normalizing, hardening, quenching, tempering, annealing, stress relieving and case hardening for forged steel components.
Do you provide heat treatment as a standalone service?
Our heat treatment is primarily integrated with our forging and machining operations. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
What steel grades do you heat treat?
We heat treat carbon steel grades (C45, C55, EN8), alloy steel grades (42CrMo4, EN19, EN24, 20MnCr5), tool steels and stainless steel grades.
How do you verify heat treatment results?
We perform Brinell and Rockwell hardness testing on every heat-treated batch, and maintain furnace temperature charts and records for each cycle.
What is the difference between hardening and tempering?
Hardening increases steel hardness and strength by rapid quenching from high temperature. Tempering follows hardening and reduces brittleness while retaining the required hardness.
Do you offer case hardening for gear forgings?
Yes. We provide case hardening including carburizing and carbonitriding for gear blanks, shafts and other components requiring surface hardness with tough core.
Can you perform stress relieving after machining?
Yes. We perform stress relieving for forgings after heavy machining operations to remove residual stresses and improve dimensional stability.
Do you provide heat treatment records with forgings?
Yes. We provide furnace charts, heat treatment cycle records and hardness test reports as part of our quality documentation.
What hardness range can you achieve in heat treatment?
Achievable hardness depends on steel grade and heat treatment cycle. We work with customer specifications to achieve the required hardness range.
Is heat treatment included in the forging price?
Heat treatment is quoted as part of the complete forging supply. Contact us with your specification for a complete price including heat treatment.
