In order to supply you with the best turnaround possible for your aerospace product, we have outlined a handful of requirements which need to be included…
The annealing process involves heating up the material slightly above its austenitizing temperature and then controlled cooling it from there. In annealing, the material can be…
Continuous roller hearth furnaces are typically designed to process high volume products that require the same process time and temperature. Parts are loaded in containers that…
Drop bottom furnaces utilize a carriage to set heat treat containers on during the solution process. The carriage is suspended by chains and is hoisted into…
FNC produces a compound layer on the surface of the parts typically .0001”-.0015”. The compound layer is formed by diffusing nitrogen and carbon into the surface…
The HyperQuench process is conducted in an electric drop bottom furnace. Aluminum parts are loaded into the HyperQuench racking system and lifted into the furnace hydraulically.…
Isothermal anneal is a two-stage process involving austenitizing the material first at preferred temperature and subsequently cooling to and holding at a specific temperature to complete…
Have you been challenged to design a better product? Count on NitroSteel®, the experts in ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC), for performance that’s vastly superior to chrome plating.…
NitroSteel® products and chrome-plated products utilize the same base metals and would be machined in a similar fashion. The hardened surface wear layer and light shallow…
Normalizing is a type of annealing in which steel is austenitized (heated above a critical temperature), held for a specified time, and then cooled in air.…
Phosphates are available in light and heavy versions with a base of zinc, iron or manganese. In addition, there are several types of lubrications available like…
Stage 1 – Pickling: The purpose of pickling is to remove contaminates from the surface of the steel such as scale, stains, or rust. Sulfuric acid…
Distortion control and dimensional stability Ability to process thinner walled aluminum castings and stampings Improved mechanical properties; ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and % elongation Increased…
Premier Thermal provides comprehensive metal treatment solutions for your most challenging products. We treat ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and serve as your expert partner every step…
Quench and Temper process provides strength and toughness throughout the part being processed. It is a two- stage heat treat process that includes hardening and tempering…
Shot blasting is the process in which a blasting media (shot) is used to clean the surface of steel, eliminating old coatings, rust, scale, etc.
Spheroidize annealing produces microstructure of globular carbides in a ferritic matrix. This microstructure is achieved in a few different ways:
