VACUUM HEAT TREATING

Small run? Large run? Pressure makes us stronger.

ABOUT VACUUM HEAT TREATING

Our vacuum heat treating service is a precisely controlled, environmentally friendly process that results in minimal distortion with a bright, scale-free finish which can eliminate polishing and grinding. Specializing in the hardening of tool steel, our vacuum heat treating operations often process tools and components that are used in metal stamping (cutting and forming) as well as forging.
