Metal Conveyor Belts for Heat Treatment Processes
The heat treatment of steel and foundries is a process consisting of a set of heating and cooling operations, under controlled conditions of temperature, speed, time and pressure, of metals or alloys in the solid state, in order to improve their mechanical properties.
This type of production process allows to considerably improve the hardness, strength and elasticity of treated metal materials.
The steel heat treatment belts and foundries that we manufacture in Codina can work at temperatures 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 conveyors for heat treatment
AISI 314/25-20/1.4841
This material is suitable for processes whose execution temperature is between 900°C and 1160°C. However, this material is not suitable for processes where the tape can work during some phase between 750ºC and 850ºC, since it becomes fragile by sigma phase formation.
AISI 330/37-18/1.4864
Corrosion and high temperature resistant material, offering high mechanical and carburizing resistance. It can work at temperatures up to 1160ºC. The main property of this material is that it remains austenitic during the temperature range of the sigma phase (750-850ºC) and supports for a long time the formation of this phase.
Codina can also manufacture this type of tape on other materials on demand.
