Our Advanced Approach
Apply top-tier equipment and technical expertise
TEAM’s technicians balance multiple factors in a controlled environment, regulating hold temperature and time to relieve stresses without compromising material integrity. In tandem with our sophisticated thermocouples and computer monitoring systems, we ensure precise control and prevent formation of new stressors.
+
Elevated Metallurgical Structure
Purify grain structure to increase life span
TEAM’s advanced post-weld heat treatment refines the grain structure of welds, allowing them to better withstand stress and strain. By focusing on metallurgical refinement, we ensure that your components perform optimally over their lifespan.
+
Stress and Hardness Reduction
Improve texture durability and prevent cracking
Residual stresses and hardness in welded materials are primary contributors to cracking. Our advanced heat treating methods eliminate these stressors to improve the overall integrity and strength of the welds. By improving texture and reducing hardness, we prevent brittleness and ensure long-lasting durability.
+
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance
Fortify materials against corrosion
By precisely controlling the reheating process, we improve the material’s ability to withstand corrosive environments, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. This treatment extends the life of your components, maintaining their strength and performance in challenging conditions.
