The most modern commercial induction-hardening facility in Queensland.
Available commercially to external customers — hardening and heat treatment run as a service, not just for ABC's own floor.
Hardened to 60 HRC — and finished on the same floor.
The most modern and comprehensive commercial induction hardening facility in Queensland. Units from 200 kW to 400 kW at 3–10 kHz harden to 60 HRC at case depths of 3–15 mm. Our computerised gas-fired oven (6.5 × 5.5 × 2.7 m, to 800°C) handles stress relieving and normalising. Available commercially to external customers.
Because the department shares one building with machining, fabrication and fitting, a component can be machined, hardened, stress-relieved and final-machined without leaving Paget.
Heat-treatment plant
The plant that sets the envelope. Where a component lands inside these limits, it is hardened, stress-relieved and returned to machining in house — read it like a calibration sheet.

Send the drawing or the worn part. We'll come back with a quote, a hardening procedure and a QA plan — and because all seven departments share one floor, the same job can be machined, hardened and finished without leaving Paget.
