Farra Engineering

🔥 Things are heating up in the workshop! 🔥

Our large heat treatment processing oven is currently running around the clock, handling some very large and complex fabricated components. This post-weld heat treatment before machining plays a critical role in stress-relieving the metal, helping to prevent cracking and ensuring long-term performance.

This impressive oven — measuring 5.5m square by 1.4m high — can reach temperatures of up to 700°C. 🌡️

For this process, we carefully control the cycle:
• Heating at a maximum rate of 50°C per hour ⏱️
• Holding at temperature for 4 hours 🔧
• Controlled cooling at approximately 70°C per hour

Precision, control, and consistency are key to achieving the best possible results. ✅

✨ Projects like this are why we love what we do.

Working alongside talented designers, trusted partners, and our wider community to deliver something that genuinely enhances a public space is always a highlight for our team.

💛Huge congratulations to everyone involved and thanks for sharing this post with us Dream South D 👏

The fabricated and powder‑coated pieces were also a real standout at the Business-South & SOREC event at our workshops last week — well admired ❤️

Lest We Forget. In Farra’s long history, war has touched our company and the lives of our people deeply — with many of our people answering the call to serve, some returning home, and others who did not. This Anzac Day, we pause to remember all who served. ❤️
