Stress Relieve
A low temperature heat treatment given to springs and wire forms to relieve residual stresses produced by prior cold forming. This improves the spring’s or wire form’s shape memory to spring back to its formed shape and resist taking a set.
Heat Treat
For special heat treating at temperatures above stress relieving, such as anneal, austemper, harden and temper, vacuum heat treat, and ferritic nitrocarburize, we use qualified heat treat companies that are located within 15 minutes drive for quick service.
