Defense Heat Treating
Defense manufacturing has the highest performance and quality demands of any industry. Components that are made for defense equipment and applications have the highest toughness and durability, as well as the longest lives.
At Thermal Modification Technologies, we understand the ins and outs of the Military’s strict demands on your components. Our heat treatments meet DOD and AS9100 standards, so you can be sure that your parts will be in good hands with us.
Heat Treatment for the Military and Defense Industries
Age Hardening
Age Hardening, or precipitation hardening, is perfect for increasing the tensile and yield strength of alloys commonly used in Defense manufacturing. It also improves wear resistance, making the material more durable even in harsh environments.
Annealing
Annealing is a process that removes internal stresses that occur during machining, preventing cracking in materials, such as copper, aluminum, and steels.
Carbonitriding
For steel components that need a hard shell that is wear resistant even in the harshest conditions, choose our carbonitriding treatment. Carbonitriding is perfect for parts that require a greater case depth than what carburizing can impart.
Carburizing
Carburizing is applied to components made of low-carbon steel, such as bearing, gears, and similar parts, that require a resistant surface while maintaining core strength and toughness.
Induction
Induction heat treating is perfect for treating specific features of a larger component, such as the teeth on a sprocket, improving their wear resistance and durability in harsh environments.
Normalizing
Normalizing is an excellent heat treatment for Aerospace and Marine applications, reducing stresses within the material after machining and increasing the component’s stress.
Through Hardening
Through Hardening is one of the most widely used heat-treating processes, allowing high-carbon steels to achieve maximum hardness of the material.
