The precious metals sector requires extremely precise heat treatment to ensure perfect ductility, surface integrity, and workability of materials such as gold and platinum alloys.
During manufacturing, intermediate annealing steps are essential to reshape the metal without defects.
Codere’s System 340 annealing furnaces are highly valued by refining houses and precious metal manufacturers. They enable controlled heating below the alloy’s melting point, followed by rapid quenching to restore ductility and facilitate forming or shaping operations.
Precious Metals Industry Challenges
Manufacturers working with gold and platinum face very specific constraints:
- High-temperature annealing without contamination
- Perfect surface condition after heat treatment
- Controlled cooling to avoid oxidation or discoloration
- Repeatable thermal cycles for consistent alloy behaviour
- Ability to process long workpieces such as bars, profiles, and flat products
These requirements demand furnaces capable of delivering both precision and flawless cleanliness.
System 340
Codere’s System 340 furnaces are designed for long precious-metal parts, offering controlled hydrogen atmospheres, clean water quenching, and flawless surface finish with safe, reliable operation.
