Heating treating hardens metal. In this video, we are using oil as the quenching medium. The oil allows the center cubic molecules to expand and become hard. Disston uses a quench press to keep materials flat during the process.

DISSTON’S HEAT TREATING CAPABILITY

Heat treating of metal products has been an integral part of Disston’s standard processing for more than a century and a half and includes hardening, tempering, stress relieving and heat flattening.

  • Heat treatment of steel & other metals
  • Atmostphere controlled furnaces
  • Electric furnace termpering & stress relieving
  • Die tempering, stress relieving, heat flattening furnaces
  • Austenitizing furnace
  • Quenching facility

These processes are accomplished in furnaces with modern controls to assure precise temperatures and heat treatment cycles to meet our customer’s physical and metallurgical requirements. We carry a large inventory of steel and can harden and temper your material or ours.
