heavy truck

At Aalberts, we understand that the heavy truck industry requires products to perform at a high level for extended periods.

Why work with us?

Heat treatment is key for improving the strength and toughness of heavy truck components, making them corrosion- and wear-resistant, increasing life expectancy, and reducing the part’s weight.

Specializing in a comprehensive range of essential processes, including austempering and ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC), Aalberts ensures the creation of high-quality parts tailored specifically for the heavy truck industry.

Aalberts’ specialized processes result in significant benefits for stakeholders in the heavy truck industry:

  • exceptional strength
  • superior resistance to wear and fatigue
  • excellent dimensional stability
  • high impact strength
  • extended part life
  • minimal distortion during processing
  • excellent corrosion protection
  • reduced maintenance requirements

Austempering is a specialized heat treatment process that transforms ductile iron into austempered ductile iron (ADI), a high-performance material known for its exceptional strength, toughness, and wear resistance. The process enhances durability and fatigue strength while maintaining excellent dimensional stability and cost-effective manufacturability.

Ferritic nitrocarburizing is ideal for components exposed to torque, wear, compression, and corrosion. The Aalberts gas ferritic nitrocarburizing process, which uses ammonia as the nitrogen source and a carbon-bearing gas as the carbon source, strengthens steel surfaces, reduces friction, and provides outstanding corrosion resistance in a cost-effective way.

At Aalberts, delivering high-performance truck components is our top priority. That’s why we take great pride in many locations being ISO-9000:2015 and IATF-16949:2016 certified, further ensuring our commitment to quality and adherence to stringent policies.

Partnering with us means partnering with a team ready to tackle any challenge. Our expert on-staff metallurgists will determine the optimal heat treatment process for your specific needs, ensuring you receive a quality product.
