Hardening of Heated Metals

Hardening is completed via water-quench, oil-quench, forced- or still-air quench or aging and results in improved mechanical properties, hardness and toughness of the alloy material. At Pittsburgh Metal Processing Co, we use only the top name brand equipment in all our heat treatment processes.

Water Quench (Up to 2250°F) & Tempering (350 - 1200°F)

This process is applied to water-hardening medium carbon and low carbon alloy grades of steel for improved strength, hardness and toughness in light-to-moderate sections sizes.

Oil Quench (Up to 2250°F) & Tempering (350 - 1200°F)

This process is applied to oil-hardening medium-to-high carbon and medium-to-high carbon alloy grades of steel for improved strength, hardness and toughness in moderate-to-heavy section sizes.

Forced-Air Quench (Up to 2250°F) & Tempering (350 - 1200°F)

This process is applied to medium carbon, low alloy grades of steel for improved strength, hardness and toughness with reduced risk of distortion.

Still-Air Quench (Up to 2250°F) & Temper (350 - 1200°F)

This process is applied to air-hardening grades of steel for improved strength, hardness and toughness with reduced risk of distortion.

Age Hardening (300 - 1400°F)

This process is applied to age-hardenable or precipitation, which are hardenable ferrous and nonferrous alloys for improved strength, hardness and toughness with reduced risk of distortion.
