PCC Energy Group

Heat Treatment Plant

We offer a wide variety of heat treatments, different materials, components and dimensions. Nine stationary heat treatment furnaces are fired by gas burners and controlled electronically. We specialize in Heat Exchangers and Large Vessels and Machinery.

Processes & Materials

Heat treatment services are available for ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as general structural, tempered and case-hardened steel, corrosion- and acid-resistant stainless steel, special high-alloy materials, non-ferrous metals, light metals and casting materials, e.g. spheroidal graphite iron.

These materials can be processed in a variety of ways.
