Education Department

Without a doubt, an educated heat treat customer is the best heat treat customer. After all, our customers supply us with the material, design, and heat treat specs that we must work with. In our efforts to continuously improve the quality of our services, we have developed both written and bulletins and in-house seminars designed for management personnel, tool & die makers, designers, or anyone who is involved in the manufacturing of parts to be heat treated.

Both the bulletins and seminars are presented in laymen's terms and include general, non-technical information about the "do's & don'ts" of heat treating; material selection; and heat treat process terminology, intricacies, pitfalls and misconceptions. The seminars also include a plant tour and question and answer session to address your individual concerns. both provide our customers with the basic fundamental knowledge necessary to help "us" (heat treater & customer) improve "our" quality, improve "our" turnaround, and decrease "our" costs.

We also have experienced, skilled personnel available for metallurgical consultation on prototype jobs, as well as assistance with heat treat estimates and quotations.
