TRATER Heat Treatments  

Trater was born, under another name, during the Sixties from the entrepreneurial spirit of the funding father Mr. Rino Grassi for the manufacturing of steam generators.

 

The need to heat-treat the items manufactured caused, from the start, the necessity to have an oven for the stress-relieving of welds, which was made available also to other manufacturers, who were not provided with these plants, and could develop and progress thanks to this opportunity.

 

Thanks to the variety of components to be treated coming from all sectors of the Italian and foreign plant constructions, the heat treatment branch of the company became rapidly, such as the manufacturing sector, a distinctive activity due to the technological innovation and the practical solutions adopted to reach the best result in terms of resistance of the welds subject to efforts and fatigue and in terms of geometrical stability of the items, particularly researched by the manufacturing companies of machine tools.

 

In 1969, the heat treatment activity was definitely separated from the manufacturing one and on June 16th TraTer was born.

In the Seventies, Trater grew rapidly up until it conquered all the spaces previously occupied by the steam generators’ manufacturing company, which became only engineering. Nowadays, Trater covers a surface of 30 thousand square meters and provides also services such as non-destructive examinations, abrasive blasting, industrial painting and flame spray.

 

In the Eighties, thanks to the contribution and the ideas of the son and daughter of the funding father, Vittorio and Patrizia Grassi, Trater started working more and more precious and performing materials, such as stainless steel, alloyed steels, aluminum alloys, copper and nickel alloys. Further to stress-relieving treatments and Pwht, Trater enters the world of quality treatments (annealing, normalizing and quenching and tempering) and solution annealing.   Next>>
