Dozens of Cool Ways to Use Heat

Like forging, the science of heat treating has been developed and refined over many centuries — and grown more precise and controllable with the development of new technology. Our heat treating facilities in Springfield, Mass. represent the perfect mix of age-old techniques with state-of-the-art technology.

Our capabilities include:

• Annealing
• Hardening
• Austempering
• Normalizing
• Aging
• Bright hardening
• Cryogenic freezing
• Precipitation hardening
• Brazing
• Carburizing
• Case hardening
• Bright annealing
• Stress relieving

We offer a variety of controlled quenching atmosphere processes, including:

• Oil
• Nitrogen
• Vacuum
• Salt
• Water

Most hardness requirements can be verified right in our inspection area. More critical parameters — from superficial Rockwell hardness to tensile testing — are verified in our in-house Metallurgy Lab.
