We’ll walk you through each step of the way, to make sure nothing gets lost in the technical and that there is practical benefit of working with us.
Steel Manufacturing and Heat Treating
Our metallurgical knowledge spans decades of product manufacturing for steel products. We have engineered from the steel mill, to the processing, to the heat treating and we would have a passion for sharing the best practices of manufacturing.
With expertise in steel bar production and downstream processing, our expertise spans
Steel Melting | Casting | Hot Rolling | Cold Drawing | Turning | Grinding | Eddy Current | Machining | Hot Forging | Cold Forging
With thousands of heat treatments designed, we have a thorough understanding and actively engineer
Annealing | Normalizing | Quench and Temper | Carburizing | Carbonitriding | Nitriding | Ferritic Nitrocarburizing
When it comes to heat treating, we can also troubleshoot any furnace issues that may be contributing to issues you could be seeing in your product.
