Heat Treatments
Finishes
Are you looking for aerospace or commercial heat treatments?
Heat treatment alters the microstructure of the material. The idea behind heat treatment is that the alloy or metal is heated and then cooled to change its properties or shape. Cooling helps to harden the material, and the process is designed to change the structure of the metal itself. For some products, this can mean increasing surface hardness, improving temperature resistance, and even improving the alloy's actual strength.
Standards
All heat treatment processing meets the standards set out by the customer or the National Aerospace and Defence Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) or BS EN 9100.
