My research group at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) recently found that heat treatment can be leveraged to control inclusions in stainless steel.

According to reports – and/or leaks – Apple will switch to forged stainless steel iPhone chassis. (from 2/9)

Stainless steel is considered the material of choice in applications where corrosion resistance is of utmost importance.

The HYDROFLEX atmosphere control system is a universal solution for clean and bright oxide-free annealing of steel, stainless steel, copper, bronze or brass.

Most, if not all, heat treaters – whether they like to admit it or not – enjoy the challenges that present themselves when confronted by a new material or the need to develop a new process recipe to achieve specified properties or results.

Much of the Center for Heat Treating Excellence's recent focus has been on assessing the benefits of alumina-forming alloys.

Because of its properties, duplex stainless steels are chosen for a variety of industrial applications (e.g., heat exchangers, boilers, etc.).

A furnace operating with a concentration below the explosive limit of hydrogen does not need to meet NFPA requirements, which gives it distinct cost advantages.
