Bringing Heat Treatment In-House

Own your quality. Own your process.

Bringing heat treatment in-house isn’t just about reducing cost – it’s about gaining control, improving efficiency, and protecting your intellectual property. Manufacturers that bring heat treatment in-house benefit from faster response times, improved consistency, and greater confidence in their metallurgical results.

Maintain Better Control of Your Process

  • Reduce or eliminate external logistics and transportation delays
  • Enable faster troubleshooting and continuous process optimization
  • Protect proprietary heat-treatment recipes and intellectual property
  • • Simplify compliance, documentation, and traceability (AMS, CQI-9, NADCAP,…)
  • • Lower cost per part with more predictable production economics

Faster Lead Times & Process Flexibility

  • • Support just-in-time manufacturing and faster customer response
  • • Eliminate pre-/post-production subcontracting to save time & cost
  • • Reduce scrap, re-work and secondary cleaning operations
  • Achieve excellent repeatability across production runs
  • • Seamless integration with ECM Robotics & advanced automation solutions

Superior Quality Control & Consistent Metallurgical Results

  • Minimize damage risk by eliminating external transportation
  • • Prevent oxidation, decarburization, and surface degradation with less movement/transportation
  • • Full control over temperature uniformity, vacuum levels, gas quenching,…

Bring your parts to our Synergy Center recipe development and metallurgical testing center to test in our in-house NANO (FLEX testing also available)!

We also can provide heat treater recommendations who utilize ECM vacuum furnace technology or we can work with your current outsourced heat treater to incorporate ECM technology into their process. Contact us
