ELEVATE YOUR METALS' INTEGRITY
EXPERT STEP COOLING SERVICES AND TESTING FOR UNPARALLELD MATERIAL ANALYSIS

Step cooling and the ductile to brittle transition curve are important concepts in materials science and engineering, particularly in the realm of heat treatment and fracture behavior analysis. Employing step cooling techniques allows for tailored material properties, while understanding the transition curve helps in designing materials and structures for optimal performance and safety across a range of operating conditions. 

We provide precisely controlled step cooling services in our accurate computer controlled furnaces. 

Ductile to Brittle transition curves and data generated by us helps clients in their material analysis and decision making process.

Step Cooling for Weld Coupons: Enhancing Weldment Properties

Step cooling in the context of weld coupons refers to a controlled cooling process applied to welded joints or test specimens (coupons) to influence their microstructure and mechanical properties. This technique is particularly important in welding processes, where the cooling rate after welding can significantly impact the weldment's properties, such as strength, toughness, and resistance to cracking.

Testing and Validation: Weld coupons subjected to step cooling regimes are often evaluated through non-destructive testing (NDT) and mechanical testing (e.g., tensile, Charpy impact) to assess weld quality, properties across the weldment, and compliance with performance requirements.
