Heat Treatment
To Stork Cooperheat, every project is unique and we are often
tasked with developing innovative heat treatment solutions with
the application of our equipment to new and emerging heat
treatment applications.
Clients have the assurance that the depth of our in-house
expertise in heat treatment and the compatible disciplines,
ensures complete integrity throughout the operation from the
development of initial concept through to completion of the
process and hand over.
Heat treatment solutions can be provided to apply to metals, non
metals, composites, coatings and refractories over temperatures
ranging from 100°C or less to 1250°C to suit a variety of
applications.
Low and medium voltage resistance heating elements, induction heat
treatment and high velocity gas or oil combustion burners can
supply the energy required, dependent on the circumstances and
location.
The versatility and relative ease of transportation of the
equipment allows the heat treatment process to be applied onsite
almost anywhere in the world.
Lower Temperature Heating
• Curing of protective coatings, paint, phenplocis, epoxy
resin, rubber linings.
• Moisture removal.
• Line thaw or decongestion of solidified low melting point
substances.
• GRP pipe joint curing.
• Composite curing.
• Welding preheat and concurrent heating of steel and non ferrous
metals.
• Heat shrink and expansion of fitted components such as rotor
bell ends and gears.
Mid Range Temperature Heating
• Higher temperature weld preheat and concurrent heating.
• Hydrogen bake out of ferritic steels and post heating
applications.
• Post weld heat treatment of welded structure.
• Tempering.
• Ageing processes.
• Annealing of non ferrous metals.
• Temperature profile stabilisation of plant during shut downs.
• Line thaw or decongestion of solidified higher melting point
substances
• Low and medium temperature refractory dry out and curing process
start up.
Higher Temperature Heating
• Normalising of ferritic steels.
• Annealing of ferritic steels.
• Solution annealing of austenitic steels.
• High temperature refractory curing.
• Process start up.
