Heat Treating Processes
Temperature Processing Colorado, Inc. can provide the metal heat treating processes listed below.
In each process, the material to be heat treated is usually a finish-machined part. Even for oil quenched parts, there is no need for post-heat treat surface clean up.
Photocopies of the furnace temperature charts are supplied with each lot of parts processed to Mil-spec or AMS requirements.
