The March/April 2017 issue of Gear Technology (coming soon!) will focus on heat treating. But we thought we'd give you a little "warm-up" with a look at some of the most popular heat treating articles from our archive:
Throughout the manufacturing process, heat treatment is viewed as a critical step for adding value to the parts produced. This is why, when producing quality parts, we are primarily concerned with properly utilizing the carburizing and quenching processes. One of the most essential steps is...Read the technical article.
Vacuum gas nitride processing from Solar Atmospheres can significantly increase the fatigue strength and service life of your parts. Benefits include case depths up to 0.025" and improved wear and anti-galling properties due to a 40 - 70% increase in surface hardness. Corrosion resistance is increased through nitrogen-enrichment.
Suppliers are working hard to make
sure their heat treating equipment is controllable, repeatable and efficient,
and manufacturers continue to incorporate technology that gives heat treaters and their customers more information about what's going on inside the magic box.
