Metals Processing Capabilities
Thermal Processing
Stress Relieving
diminishes the residual stress in steel caused by working the material (i.e. flame cutting, forming, rolling, casting, machining, welding, bending, straightening). This is accomplished by reheating the steel then cooling it at a slower rate.
Normalizing
is accomplished by heating the metal above the transformation temperature, then cooling it in still or slightly agitated air.
Annealing
is accomplished by heating the metal just below the transformation temperature, then cooling in a controlled cycle which limits the cooling rate and brings the temperature down slowly.
Our furnaces are 96” wide x 144” long by 54” high with a weight capacity of 30,000 lbs
