In high-performance engineering applications, components are often required to deliver exceptional strength, dimensional stability, and fatigue resistance—without compromising corrosion resistance or precision. Conventional hardening methods may not be suitable for certain alloys where strength must be achieved without extreme surface hardness or distortion. Age Hardening, also known as Precipitation Hardening, is a specialized heat treatment process designed to meet these exact requirements.
At Infinity Thermotech Solutions Private Limited, we provide precision-controlled age hardening / precipitation hardening heat treatment services in Pune, supporting manufacturers across aerospace, automotive, tooling, defence, and heavy engineering industries. Our metallurgical expertise ensures repeatable mechanical properties, controlled microstructure, and long-term component reliability.
At Infinity Thermotech, annealing and solution annealing are carried out with strict control over time, temperature, and cooling rates to ensure consistent and repeatable results.
Our process control includes:
Whether the goal is softening for machining, stress relief, or restoring corrosion resistance, our approach ensures dimensional stability, uniform properties, and reliable performance.
Age hardening, or precipitation hardening, is a heat treatment process used to significantly increase the strength and hardness of specific alloys by controlled precipitation of fine particles within the metal matrix. Unlike carburising or nitriding, which harden the surface, precipitation hardening strengthens the entire component uniformly.
Solution Annealing is a specialized annealing process primarily used for stainless steels, nickel alloys, and corrosion-resistant alloys. In this process, components are heated to a high temperature where alloying elements dissolve into a solid solution, followed by rapid cooling (usually water quenching) to retain this uniform microstructure.
Age hardening is essential for components that require high strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and corrosion performance.
Uniform strengthening throughout the component.
Minimal distortion when correctly controlled.
Ideal for cyclic load and high-stress applications.
Especially important for stainless steel and aluminium alloys.
Critical for aerospace and automotive applications.
Age hardening is fundamentally different from surface hardening processes. For components requiring deep surface hardness and wear resistance, Carburising Hardening & Tempering is more suitable.
Where high surface hardness with minimal distortion is required, Nitriding provides an effective alternative. For applications demanding combined wear resistance, fatigue strength, and corrosion protection, Nitrocarburising offers a balanced surface engineering solution.
Infinity Thermotech provides all these processes, allowing customers to select the most technically and economically appropriate heat treatment solution.
Our goal is to deliver measurable improvements in strength, durability, and component performance.

Age hardening strengthens the entire component, while surface hardening affects only the outer layer.
Yes. It is one of the most effective methods for strengthening aluminium alloys.
When properly controlled, it maintains or enhances corrosion resistance, especially in PH stainless steels.
Distortion is minimal when solution treatment and aging cycles are precisely controlled.
