Belts for heat treatment

Heat treatment of steel and cast iron production is a process that consists of a combination of heating and cooling operations, performed on metals or alloys in a solid state, under conditions of controlled temperature, speed, time and pressure, with the aim of improving the metals’ or alloys’ mechanical properties.
This type of process makes it possible to considerably improve the hardness, resistance and elasticity of the treated metal materials.

The conveyor belts for heat treatment of steel and castings that we manufacture at Codina can work at temperatures of up to 1160ºC and sigma phase temperatures since we use top quality materials to create our conveyor belts specifically created for high temperature processes.

Materials used in our conveyor belts for heat-treatment processes

AISI 314 / 25-20 / 1.4841

Adequate for processes whose temperature of execution is between 900°C and 1160°C, but inadequate for processes in which the belt may have to operate during a phase between 750°C and 850°C, since this material becomes fragile as a result of sigma phase formation.

AISI 330/ 37-18 / 1.4864

Material resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, which offers a high degree of mechanical resistance and resistance to carburization. Capable of operating at temperatures of up to 1160°C. The main property of this material is that it remains austenitic during the sigma phase temperature range (750-850°C), and withstands the formation of this phase for a prolonged period of time.

Codina can also manufacture this type of belt with other materials, upon request
