Specialty heat treating is part of our history and core competency. We like to perform the exotic processes that require better than average equipment and engineering know-how.

Heat treating of specialty materials like titanium which we can perform alpha case free and columbium, or niobium are common place. Our heat treating equipment can perform various processes on steels, stainless steels, copper; inconel families of material, precipitation hardening materials like 17-4, 15-5 and 13-8 are all part of our family of materials. If you have a question about a specific material heat treatment requirement call us.

Our equipment is constantly upgraded and new furnaces are added yearly. All furnaces are microprocessor controlled to meet the all current and future quality requirements. Here are some of our specialties:

We are capable of designing appropriate furnace fixtures to maintain dimensional requirements. In many cases we have been able to create a solution for materials that have been a problem in the past for our customers.

We have the unique ability to choose a process that best fits your needs as we heat treat in vacuum furnaces, air furnaces, and hydrogen furnaces with both wet and dry hydrogen gas. We can also heat treat in other industrial gases that fit the appropriate material specification. We can also induction heat treat on specific areas of your parts.

Our furnaces have temperature capabilities to 4200 degrees Fahrenheit and high pressure quenching capability to 12 bars. High pressure quenching in a vacuum furnace can create extraordinary benefits when rapid quenching meets bright, clean, material requirements coupled with strict dimensional requirements.

You can pick any of the above solutions to solve your material problems, it’s just a bundle of reasons to enjoy the Thermal-Vac Advantage! Sit back and relax we have your heat treating needs covered.
