Aerospace heat
treating is done for super alloy components used in the
aerospace industry when they’re joined together
by brazing or diffusion bonding with nickel and cobalt
base filler metals. Aerospace heat treating is carried
out in high vacuum furnaces by holding the parts for
a long period of time to diffuse away boron and silicon.
During the aerospace heat treating process our vacuum
furnaces can reach temperatures to 2800 degrees F and
have vacuum levels to 10-6 Torr, all metal hot zones
and extremely rapid cooling. Applied Thermal Technologies
Inc. personnel work closely with each customer in determining
their particular requirements and are available for technical
assistance for your aerospace heat treating, metallurgy
and brazing questions.

Bright annealing is
the process of slowly cooling an object. Bright annealing
is an integral part of making materials especially glass
less brittle. The process can be used on stainless steel,
cobalt, chrome, high temperature alloys and titanium.
The bright annealing process is just one of the heat
treating capabilities of Applied Thermal Technologies
Inc. We also have the equipment to do brazing, tempering
and hardening. We are a small business, with mechanics
providing customer satisfaction in local and national
markets. The pride of a job well done is still apparent
in our interactions with our bright annealing customers
and all that we do.

Bright annealing is the process of cooling an object at a predetermined rate to achieve a specific effect. Often, bright annealing is used to make materials, especially glass and metals, less brittle or to soften materials for further shaping or working.

The lower temperature
associated with ceramic brazing vs. welding can increase
joining speed and reduce fuel gas consumption. Ceramic
brazing can be easier for beginners to learn than welding.
It can also be a cheap and effective technique for mass
production. With ceramic brazing the joints generally
have smooth attractive beads that do not require additional
grinding or finishing. Components can be assembled with
preformed plugs of filler material positioned at joints
and then heated in a furnace or passed through heating
stations on an assembly line. The heated filler then
flows into the joints by capillary action. For thin work
pieces like sheet metal or thin-walled pipe burn-through
is less likely to result with ceramic brazing.
Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. is a metal processing company that provides ceramic brazing services to the state of California. Ceramic brazing is one of the best ways to join ceramics with other ceramics or with common metals. Ceramics are often very difficult to join and welding is almost never an option. Active metal ceramic brazing can be used to join difficult materials such as carbide, diamond, sapphire, alumina, zirconia, and silicon nitride. These materials may be joined to themselves or to common metals such as stainless steel and copper with ceramic brazing processes.
Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. is a metal processing company providing heat treating services to the greater Chicago area. There are many types of heat treating, including annealing, brazing, precipitation hardening, and sintering. These services are performed in our vacuum furnaces. Our vacuum furnaces can reach temperatures to 2800 degrees F and can have vacuum levels to 10-6 Torr, with all metal hot zones and extremely rapid cooling.
Medical device
brazing is a joining process whereby a non-ferrous filler
metal and an alloy are heated to melting temperature (above
800 degrees F) and distributed between two or more close-fitting
parts by capillary action. With medical device brazing
when the braze is at its liquid temperature, the molten
filler metal interacts with a thin layer of the base metal,
cooling to form an exceptionally strong, sealed joint due
to grain structure interaction. With medical device brazing
the joints becomes a sandwich of different layers, each
metallurgically linked to each other. The most common filler
materials are gold in color, but fillers that more closely
match the color of the base materials can be used since
appearance is important to the medical device brazing end
product.
Our medical
device heat treating includes the process of precipitation
hardening, also called age hardening. It is widely used
to add strength to our medical device heat treating alloy
materials. The precipitation hardening capabilities of
Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. include stainless
steel, high temperature alloys and titanium. We began
our company in 1992 to service the hospital and specialty
components industries in Northern Indiana and have since
expanded nationally. You can increase joining speed and
reduce fuel gas consumption with the lower temperature
associated with medical device heat treating.
Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. is a metal processing company that provides medical instrument brazing nationwide.
Brazing allows small, delicate parts to be crafted with superior strength. Brazing is accomplished by placing a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metals between the two metals to be joined. The pieces are then heated to the melting point of the filler metal, which joins the base metals through capillary action. Vacuum brazing also allows many medical instruments to be brazed at once, increasing efficiency.

Nickel brazing of stainless
steel and carbon steel components utilizes copper, silver
and low temperature alloys. We also have the equipment
to do annealing, tempering and hardening. Nickel brazing
can also be a cheap and effective technique for mass
production. Components can be assembled with preformed
plugs of filler material positioned at joints and then
heated in a furnace or passed through heating station.
The heated filler then flows into the joints by capillary
action. Nickel brazing joints generally have smooth attractive
beads that do not require additional grinding or finishing.
At Applied Thermal Technologies, we pride ourselves on
doing a great job on your nickel brazing projects.
Sintering is one of the many
processes Applied Thermal Technologies Inc. offers. Sintering
is created by heat treating below the melting point of
a metal; adjacent molecular particle surfaces of metallic
powders can be bonded. High temperature vacuum sintering
is performed at elevated temperatures up to 2650 degrees
F. This results in finished parts with higher density
and strength. This is used in the medical and specialty
products industries. We offer services in the form of
powder metallurgy, deformation, alloying and homogenizing
castings. Applied Thermal Technologies Inc. continues
to drive our business to the next level through our complex
sintering services.
