Heat treating (or heat treatment) broadly refers to a group of thermal processes in industrial and metalworking applications used to intentionally alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material (usually a metal). These physical and chemical property alterations typically come in the form of hardening or softening of a material via heating and chilling at extreme temperatures. Heat treating occurs at temperatures above 1,000° F, and often in excess of 1,700° F.
Desired workpiece physical and chemical properties are achieved through heat treatment techniques such as annealing, case hardening, precipitation, strengthening, tempering, normalizing, and quenching. Lindberg/MPH designs and manufactures thermal processing furnaces that incorporate all these heat treatment techniques that are known for their heating uniformity, low maintenance needs, and cost-effectiveness.
Lindberg/MPH has long been a leader in the design and manufacture of thermal processing box furnaces. These heat treat furnaces save you money when treating large volumes of material per hour with exceptional uniformity and low maintenance.
