The majority of our research is in the area of vacuum and oil quenching of tool steels. Heat treating furnaces are available for quenching and tempering of steels, solutioning and aging of non-ferrous alloys. Air, vacuum and protective gas atmospheres.
Many of our studies are performed at commercial heat treating plants.
