HEAT TREATMENT SUPPORT

IMPROVE YOUR HEAT TREATMENT PROCESSES AND HEAT TREAT RECIPES.

QAI has helped over 50 commercial and captive heat treat companies and departments improve their heat treatment processes and heat treat recipes, and also assisted many of these firms with the writing of their best practice specifications to reduce volumetric change and distortion.

Whatever the issue, QAI has the expertise to provide you with the quality and dimensional stability you demand. Our experience is extensive and includes heat treatments for simple low carbon steel components, alloy steels, stainless steels, tool steels, non-ferrous metals, and exotic steels such as stainless tool steels, and XD materials similar to Vasco and Pyroware.
