🔥 Heat Treatment with Electrical Resistance: Precision Heating for Structural Integrity
Modern industries demand accuracy, safety, and strength—and few processes deliver this better than Electrical Resistance Heat Treatment (ERHT). At Inspection Technic, we offer advanced electrical resistance heat treatment services designed to enhance the durability, toughness, and mechanical properties of your critical components.
⚡ What is Electrical Resistance Heat Treatment?
Electrical Resistance Heat Treatment (ERHT) is a thermal process that uses electric current passed through a metal component to generate heat internally. This controlled heating method is used to alter the microstructure of the material—improving properties like hardness, strength, ductility, and stress resistance.
Unlike traditional furnace methods, ERHT is:
-
Faster ✅
-
More energy-efficient ✅
-
Precisely controllable ✅
-
Suitable for on-site applications ✅
🏗️ Industrial Applications of Electrical Resistance Heat Treatment
We at Inspection Technic provide ERHT services across a variety of sectors:
Oil & Gas – Piping systems, welds, flanges
Power Plants – Boilers, turbines, pressure vessels
Petrochemical – Storage tanks, valves, reactors
Construction – Structural steel & fabrication
Shipbuilding & Railways – Castings, rails, components
Whether you’re conducting preheating, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), normalizing, or stress relieving, we bring mobile solutions directly to your site.
✅ Why Choose Electrical Resistance Heating?
ERHT offers several unmatched advantages over traditional heat treatment:
🔌 No open flame – Enhanced safety during fieldwork
🌡️ Localized, targeted heating – Ideal for specific weld zones
🕒 Faster heating & cooling cycles – Time-efficient
🎯 Precise temperature control – Avoids material distortion
🏗️ On-site and off-site capability – Zero component relocation
♻️ Environmentally friendly – Lower carbon footprint
At Inspection Technic, we use digitally programmable control units and thermocouple monitoring to ensure exact temperature profiles and documentation.
🔍 Our ERHT Services Include:
-
Preheating before welding – To prevent cold cracking and ensure uniform weld quality
-
Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) – To reduce residual stress and improve toughness
-
Hydrogen removal (baking) – For critical pressure components
-
Tempering, stress relieving, and normalization – For castings and fabrication work
-
Annealing – For softening materials or improving machinability
