At Alfred Kron GmbH in Solingen, we understand hardening not just as a heat treatment, but as a decisive step that transforms your stamped and stamped-bent parts into high-load, durable precision components. Whether in the automotive industry, electrical engineering or other industrial applications – hardened and tempered stamped and stamped-bent parts must meet the highest requirements for hardness, toughness and dimensional accuracy. This is precisely where our in-house hardening shop comes in.
Alfred Kron GmbH – In-House Hardening Shop
Through targeted hardening and tempering, your parts achieve an optimal combination of high surface hardness and sufficient toughness. The result: significantly improved wear resistance, increased fatigue strength and a long service life – even under dynamic load or vibration stress. At the same time, the part geometry remains stable, which is decisive for subsequent assembly and function in assemblies.
Our In-House Hardening Shop – Full Control for Perfect Results
In contrast to many contract finishers, at Alfred Kron GmbH we keep the entire hardening process in our own hands. This brings you clear advantages:
- Maximum process reliability – We control every step ourselves and thus avoid faulty and foreign parts in your bulk deliveries.
- Optimal degrees of hardness without distortion – Your stamped and stamped-bent parts retain exactly the desired geometry.
- Clean, scale-free surfaces – through upstream degreasing and a protective gas atmosphere.
State-of-the-Art Equipment for Thin C-Steels
Technically, we rely on state-of-the-art systems specially designed for thin C-steels up to 1 mm material thickness:
- Electrically heated continuous furnace with protective gas atmosphere for uniform and oxidation-free hardening of all common C-steel grades.
- Heated oil quenching bath ensures a particularly homogeneous hardening across the entire component.
- Controlled tempering furnaces enable the precise setting of the desired hardness and toughness.
- Own hardness testing equipment and a fatigue test guarantee that each batch corresponds exactly to your specifications.
Advantages for Your Applications
- High wear resistance with simultaneously good toughness – ideal for stamped-bent parts in moving assemblies.
- Dimensional accuracy even after heat treatment – no reworking necessary.
- Reproducible quality in large series and bulk material – perfect for just-in-time deliveries.
- Clean surfaces – directly installable, without additional cleaning or blasting.
Stamped and Bent Parts with Hardening and Tempering at Alfred Kron GmbH – Quality from a Single Source
As a tradition-rich Solingen specialist for stamping and forming technology, we supply not only precisely stamped and bent parts, but also the perfect heat treatment directly on site. This saves time, reduces interfaces and gives you the security that every stamped and stamped-bent part has exactly the required mechanical properties.
Would you like the production of your parts with hardening and tempering from a single source? Contact us – we will be happy to advise you on the optimal hardening parameters for your application, on request also with downstream coating, including baking (hydrogen embrittlement relief).
