Heat Treatment Service
Post-cutting and pre-grinding heat treatment, normalising and stress relieving at 900°C up to 3800x3700x2070 mm and up to 10 tonne.
Heat Treatment Service
Simplify your machining process, reducing the risk of cracking or splitting and reducing heat affected zones caused by metal cutting processes like flame, laser and plasma cutting. Our state of the art facilities and highly experienced engineers can apply heat treatment services to fabricated products and individual profiles to ensure quality and enhance material properties.
Easier machining without cracking
Refine metal structure, reduce internal stresses, improve machinability and ensure efficient production with higher quality.
Reduction of heat affected zone
Restore metal properties after cutting to reduce potential material weakness caused by heat affected zones, ensuring better structural integrity.
Enhanced fabricated products
Applied post-fabrication, heat treatment removes residual stresses, prevents deformation, and improves product reliability and lifespan.
Customised heat cycles
Tailored heat cycles optimise metal properties like hardness or ductility to meet specific application requirements.
Improved durability
Heat treatment boosts metal strength, toughness, and wear resistance, reducing costs and ensuring reliability in demanding industries.
Heat Treatment Service
Stress Relieving
Improve material properties like hardness, toughness and strength to improve wear resistance and increase hardness, relieve internal stresses, prevent distortion and improve machinability. Our heat treatment services ensure materials are able to withstand higher loads, impacts, fatigue and higher temperatures in challenging environments.
Normalising
Refine grain structure and improve material strength, toughness and increase homogeneity for more consistent properties. Relieve residual stresses to reduce metal distortion and improve machinability and hardness compared to untreated material.
Stainless Steel
Highly versatile and used in all kinds of products and industries including nuclear, water, pharmaceutical, food processing, medical equipment, and architectural projects requiring corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. Our advanced laser and water jet cutting ensures precise finishings.
Carbon Steel
Ideal for structural and construction projects, including bridges, buildings, and heavy machinery as well as the oil and gas, transport, shipbuilding and rail industries.
Nickel Alloys
Able to withstand high temperatures and extremely corrosion resistant. We provide high quality nickel alloys for use in heat exchangers, turbines and aerospace and nuclear applications
Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steels
High strength and corrosion resistance, this is used for petrochemical, marine, offshore and oil and gas industries and our water jet and laser cutting facilities provide accurate cuts.
Yellow Metals
Processed with fibre laser cutting, ideal for automotive, chemical and architectural applications requiring malleability and a polished finish.
How Does Heat Treatment Work?
Heat treatment works using the controlled heating and cooling of metal to change its physical and mechanical properties to improve durability, machinability and performance for industrial applications.
Using processes like annealing, normalising and stress relieving, heat treatment services refine a metal’s microstructure, improving strength, hardness or ductility, making it ideal for use on metals that have been cut using techniques like flame cutting or plasma cutting to retain the material’s strength.

Delivering Quality Products With Precision For Decades
"P.P. Group offered a completely different approach to our standard manufacturing methods. Adopting the latest advances in CAD software and profiling technology helped us to reduce costs and dramatically increase profitability. I would highly recommend contacting one of their Sales team to discuss what benefits P.P. Group’s advanced CAD and cutting technologies can bring to your business."
“P.P. Group managed to profile and deliver 75 tonnes of parts within five working days, which enabled us to meet and exceed our project’s deadlines. In addition, we saved significant time on drilling due to 40 mm cut holes, provided by P.P. Group during this task.
This truly flexible and swift approach, enabled us to deliver all the tunnel cutting machines for the construction of railway lines on time.”
“P.P. Group's advanced facilities and machinery enabled us to successfully manufacture a very complex baggage shield that weighed 76 tonnes for Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.”
“P.P. Group was able to supply us with materials, to manufacture six stainless steel filters, for the waste water industry. Each of these filters was 14 m x 4 m x 6.5 m high, consisting of thousands of profiles/parts, which were laser and water jet cut, as well as rolled and pressed; in as little as just four months. Due to the short lead time of such a large order, the project won a recognised global award.”
