HARDENED & TEMPERED STEEL STRIPS
ZENHARD, Walzen make Hardened & Tempered Medium & High Carbon Steel Strips, finds wide applications in special industrial uses. ZENHARD has excellent spring properties, uniform hardness and texture, ZENHARD has precision blanking ability and rationalizes further processing by eliminating post heat treatment & distortion and thereby increases productivity.

Walzen Strips Pvt. Ltd. manufactures ZENHARD, Hardened & Tempered Steel Strips, conforming to National and International Standards viz, IS: 2507, DIN 17222. BS: 1449, ASTM A-682 Medium & High Carbon and Low Alloy steel strips, cold rolled in-house, are heat-treated in continuous line to develop high hardness, toughness, tensile and spring properties.

Steps involved for manufacture of Hardened & Tempered Steel strips:  Austenitizing of Medium & High Carbon and Low Alloy steels is carried out in 12 M long gas fired furnace with automatic controls and heat resistant S.S. Muffle to provide inert cover to the strips. Quenchingl in oil produces very hard martensite, which is then tempered down in a 7 M long electrically heated tempering furnace. Variable speed DC drive with UPS back-up ensures uninterrupted processing even during power failure.

EDGE ROUNDING

Rounding of one or both edges is essential for certain applications requiring high fatigue life. This is done by machining of edges with profiled carbide tips.

GRINDING

During hardening and tempering the strip surface gets oxidized, developing a Blue-grey finish. But in many application the strips are required in Bright finish. This is obtained by grinding the surfaces with waterproof-coated abrasive belts in a grinding machine with coolant flow.
