Heat Treated Power Generation Parts and Equipment
Our company specializes in the heat treating of numerous alloys used in the power generation sector – from power plant parts to industrial equipment and tooling. Our quality-enhancing surface treatments pave the way for more reliable, affordable, and efficient energy production to heat and light our homes and power our vehicles.
Sun Steel’s complete range of thermal processing services are engineered to enhance critical equipment that is exposed to the extremely corrosive environments and high pressures found throughout modern oil drilling, renewable energy, and other energy refining applications.
Sun Steel’s heat treated, nitrided, and vacuum hardened equipment will improve both the reliability and productivity of your power plant operations.
Engineered Thermal Treating Solutions for More Sustainable Power Generation
Nitrided Components for the Energy Industry
Ionitriding® is our trademarked process for treating nitrided equipment used throughout the power generation sector. Our unique plasma nitriding process enhances the overall strength and dependability of energy production equipment that is subjected to extreme wear conditions and high-pressure environments. Our state-of-the-art facility utilizes glow discharge technology to produce nitrided casings on virtually any upstream, midstream, or downstream equipment up to 30 tons in weight.
Case Hardened Parts for Power Generation
Our trademarked IonWear® process improves the strength and durability of energy production components, resulting in less maintenance and a longer service life. It is also an ideal heat treatment service for the enhancement of industrial equipment used in a wide range of oil drilling and energy refining applications. IonWear® yields a high degree of wear and corrosion resistance, creating a ceramic-like surface structure.
Vacuum Hardened Critical Components
Our vacuum hardening process yields a tougher surface, more resilient surface for tools and equipment used throughout the energy industry. The process also preserves the metal’s chemistry and prevents decarburization / oxidation, making it ideal for energy equipment and tools that require additional surface treatments.
Steam Treated Steel Equipment
The steam treating process creates an oxide layer on the surface of industrial metal components which enhances their ability to retain lubricants. This can lead to less maintenance and a longer service life for power generation equipment subjected to high-wear environments.
Steel Stress Relieving for Power Generation Products
The stress relieving process reduces residual stresses within the material’s microstructure which prevents distortion in the tooling when additional machining and heat treating operations are performed. Distortion-free tooling is absolutely required for many precision equipment applications throughout the power generation sector.
Annealed Metal Components for the Energy Industry
Sun Steel offers quality annealed energy industry products which are processed in our state-of-the-art facility to ensure total precision and quality.
