Commercial Heat Treatment of Plates

Superior Heat Treat LLC can process your difficult wear plates, pallet plates and rails, backing plates, leaf springs, flat gears and other jobs that are prone to warping and dishing. Plates, rings and jobs that are thin relative to their length and width provide challenges for heat treaters. Deep slots, pockets and keyways further compound the problem. Superior Heat Treat can handle these jobs by employing sophisticated racking and quenching cycles to minimize distortion followed by hot straightening and/or heat set straightening to meet your flatness requirements. These processes minimize "twist" and result in uniform hardness without the soft spots and potential torch cracks created from conventional straightening methods. In addition, these straightening approaches are very cost effective vis-à-vis traditional methods.
