What is Special Treatment?

In order to get appropriate property of components, WHM uses various methods including special heat treatment, special polishing, coating, zinc plated etc.

Material Selection

As an OEM manufacturer, WHM chooses the materials available in Chinese markets based on the product requirements. The material engineers in WHM are familiar with various international material standards. Through careful comparison with Chinese standards, we find the difference and try to meet customers’ requirements via substitution or special treatment. The attached table is a partial comparison of various materials heat treatment as a reference.

Heat treatment

Heat treatment methods are widely used in metal products manufacturing. Through proper heat treatment, the metal mechanical properties, such as strength, hardness, ductility, toughness, and resistance to wear, can be improved. These properties also determine the service performance of the machine components like gears, sprockets, shafts.
