Heat Treatment in Every Dimension
Wilhelm Schulz Spezialglühbetrieb (Special Annealing Service) – a company of the worldwide Schulz Group
Our Heat Treatment - Your Solution
Schulz in Krefeld can provide you with heat treatment solutions in all the relevant dimensions. Whether it’s steel-framed structures, machinery, pipes, steel sections or steel slabs – we can provide advice and suitable solutions on anything that may require heat treatment.
We specialise, in particular, in two areas: “Heat Exchangers” and “Large Vessels and Machinery”. These are particularly difficult to anneal and to shrink-fit rollers, gears, cylinders and pistons.
Heat Treatment Processes
Materials
All ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as general structural, tempered and case-hardened steel, corrosion- and acid-resistant stainless steel, special high-alloy materials, non-ferrous metals, light metals and casting materials, e.g. spheroidal graphite iron.
Do you need a material analysis or an identification of values? If you require such services we would be pleased to put you in touch with independent test labs.
