Heat treatment of metals

Erredue S.p.A. produces nitrogen generators and hydrogen generators, of all sizes and purity level as well as ancillary gas treatment systems valid for all applications in the thermal treatment of metals.
The heat treatment of metals produces mechanical and structural changes to the material properties
by variation of temperature, consisting of heating, soaking and cooling in a furnace.
During the heating and cooling process it is crucial to avoid any metal oxidation that may affect the
brightness and mechanical properties of the finished parts. The pure nitrogen produced by SATURN
generators ensures full protection, while the hydrogen removes any existing oxidation on the metal by
reacting (redox) and transforming it into water vapour that is then vented out by the gas itself.
• Higher brightness of the pieces
• Improved mechanical properties
