Nitrex’s heat treating facility in Franklin, Indiana, has been granted its Nadcap reaccreditation.

The Nitrex Heat Treating Services (HTS) facility in Franklin, Indiana, received the Nadcap (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) accreditation for the following processes: heat treating for multiple alloy families, stress relieving, carburizing, nitriding, vacuum heat treating, hardness and metallography.

“This central US location and the Nitrex expertise will be used to expand our aerospace focus and business in the US,” says Mark K. Hemsath, vice president of sales at Nitrex Heat Treating Services, Americas. 

The Nadcap is known as the highest level of quality certification when it comes to heat treating. It is not only valuable in the aerospace sector, but it also shows a trusted level of expertise in the defense and precision industries. 

“Nitrex is global leader in gas nitriding and this accreditation not only shows our commitment to offer the best quality to our customers, but also our expertise in alternative processes,” Hemsath added. 

Currently, Nadcap has approved the operations of the Nitrex HTS facilities in Franklin, Indiana, and in Queretaro, Mexico.
