Enhance Metal Performance, Unlock Material Potential
MATECH provides a full range of heat treatment services, including: Annealing, Normalizing, Quenching, Tempering, Carburizing, Nitriding, Solution Treatment. We offer customized heat treatment solutions for steel parts, cast iron parts, aluminum alloy parts, conveyor chains and more.
Why Choose Matech for Heat Treatment Service?
After casting, forging or machining, metal parts and industrial chains often have problems such as internal stress, uneven structure and insufficient hardness. Improper heat treatment control may cause excessive deformation, uneven hardness and even cracking. Especially for high-precision mechanical components and heavy-duty conveyor chain systems, the microstructure change and thermal deformation control during heat treatment directly determine the final performance and service life of products.
Relying on mature heat treatment experience and a complete quality management system, Matech provides customers with stable and traceable heat treatment solutions.We focus not only on hardness standards, but also on material microstructure, performance consistency and dimensional stability after heat treatment. For conveyor chain products, we pay special attention to controlling the wear resistance, fatigue resistance and impact toughness of key components such as chain plates, pins, sleeves and sprockets, to meet heavy-duty working conditions in cement, mining, engineering machinery and material handling industries.
You only need to provide the material grade, hardness requirements or actual working conditions. Our engineering team will formulate a matched heat treatment process plan, and provide complete reports on hardness testing, metallographic analysis and mechanical properties.
Our Heat Treatment Process
Incoming Inspection
Verify material grade, original hardness and surface condition, and check for forging, casting or machining defects.
Heat Treatment Process Formulation
Determine heating temperature, holding time, cooling medium and tempering parameters according to material properties and technical requirements. For conveyor chain products, we focus on balanced control of wear resistance, fatigue resistance and impact toughness.
Furnace Loading Preparation
Load parts reasonably according to their structure and size to ensure even heating. Special tooling and fixtures are used when necessary, to reduce the risk of heat treatment deformation.
Heating and Holding
Perform precise heating and temperature holding in a controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace, to avoid oxidation, decarburization and dimensional fluctuation.
Quenching / Cooling
Select water quenching, oil quenching, polymer quenching or air cooling according to the material, with the cooling speed precisely controlled.
Cleaning and Tempering
Clean the parts immediately after quenching, then perform tempering, to relieve internal stress and balance hardness and toughness.
Quality Inspection
Conduct hardness testing, hardened layer depth measurement and metallographic analysis as required. Mechanical property tests will be carried out when necessary.
Recording and Delivery
Provide heat treatment process curves and inspection reports upon request. Deliver the products after anti-rust packaging as required by customers.
Applicable Scenarios
Our heat treatment services are widely applied to the following parts:
Gears, sprockets, shafts and worm gears, requiring high surface hardness and good core toughness.
Chain plates, pins, sleeves, rollers and conveyor chain sprockets.
Construction machinery brackets, hydraulic cylinder barrels and pump housings, requiring stress relief and dimensional stability.
High-strength bolts and nuts to meet specified hardness grades.
Aluminum alloy housings and lightweight structural parts, requiring solution and aging strengthening.
Our Service Process
From inquiry to delivery, every step is clear and transparent.
Complete Performance Solutions for Your Component Manufacturing
Heat treatment is not an isolated process, but a key step that determines the final performance of parts and conveyor chains during manufacturing.
Matech deeply integrates heat treatment capabilities into casting, CNC precision machining and conveyor chain manufacturing systems. We realize coordinated whole-process manufacturing from material selection and structural design to final performance control.
Whether you need to improve the wear resistance, strength and fatigue resistance of components, or extend the service life of conveyor chain systems under heavy-duty working conditions, our engineering team can formulate customized manufacturing and heat treatment solutions according to product structure, material properties and actual operating conditions.
Feel free to send us your drawings, material information or application requirements for further discussion with our engineering team.

Frequently Asked Questions
1
Will heat treatment affect part dimensions? How is deformation controlled?
Yes. Heat treatment, especially quenching, may cause dimensional changes and deformation. We control deformation through optimized furnace loading, specialized fixtures, controlled cooling methods, and proper machining allowance planning. For high-precision components, low-temperature processes such as nitriding are recommended for superior dimensional stability.
2
Can Matech process large-sized components?
Yes. Our heat treatment facilities are capable of handling a wide range of medium-to-large components and conveyor chain assemblies. For extra-large workpieces or long-shaft components, we also cooperate with strategic partners to provide integrated heat treatment solutions.
3
What performance improvements can be achieved for conveyor chain parts after heat treatment?
After quenching and tempering, chain plates achieve significantly improved wear resistance. Carburized and quenched pins obtain high surface hardness combined with excellent core toughness, greatly enhancing service life and operational stability under heavy-load and high-wear conditions.
4
How do you ensure consistency between different heat treatment batches?
For every furnace batch, we record temperature curves, soaking time, and cooling medium temperature. Test samples are processed together with production parts for hardness and metallographic inspection. All process data is fully traceable, ensuring stable and consistent quality between batches.
5
Can aluminum alloy parts be heat treated?
Yes. We provide solution heat treatment and aging (T6) services for aluminum alloys, significantly improving mechanical strength. For example, the tensile strength of A356 aluminum alloy can increase from approximately 200 MPa (as-cast) to over 310 MPa after T6 treatment.
6
How is heat treatment pricing calculated?
Pricing is mainly based on part weight, process complexity (e.g., carburizing or nitriding requirements), loading method, and inspection requirements. Please provide your drawings or technical specifications for a detailed quotation.
7
Is anti-corrosion treatment required after heat treatment?
Depending on the material, heat treatment process, and service environment, certain components are recommended to do anti-corrosion treatment or surface protection after heat treatment. We offer various post-treatment solutions, including anti-rust oil coating, shot blasting, Dacromet coating, zinc plating, and surface coatings, to enhance corrosion resistance and long-term operational stability.
