Salt Bath Heat Treating
The Salt Bath Process is used for the complete hardening of cutting and forming tools, and machinery components.
- Fast Heat-Up & Quench Rates
- Unsurpassed Temperature Uniformity
- Repeatable Process/ Consistent Results
- Zero Environmental Impact
Customer satisfaction reflected in on time delivery, service, product quality and consistency, training and education, communication and problem solving are some of the driving forces of the commercial heat treating market today.
Whether it's hardening alloys, carbon steels, tool steels or precision hardening high speed specialty tools, Sun Steel Treating engineers know the precise metallurgical processes to apply to your steels. Not only the right heat and quench cycles and the precise temperatures, but all with minimal distortion.
Furnace capacities are up to 24" W x 33" L x 48" H (61cm x 84cm x 122cm) and 2,000 lbs./load
Straightening Services
Our atmospherically controlled straightening department consists of 18 screw presses and 3 hydraulic presses with 24, 75 and 150 ton capacities. Methods of straightening include press, peen, flame, hammer and vibro peening. All of these methods are used in strict consideration of customer tolerances, sizes and limitations.
Straightening capabilities: flat work up to 6" thick x 24" wide x 40" long, round broaches up to 3" diameter x 36" long and rolls up to 10" diameter x 48" long. Round tooling tolerances can be met by using rollers, V-blocks, St. Marys rollers or centers. Our straightening personnel have an average of 16 years experience.
