- Surface or case hardening where specified
MANUFACTURING SERVICE
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment remains connected to material identity, required properties, dimensional stability and downstream manufacturing.
QUALIFICATION BASIS
Process capability is evaluated through material compatibility, specified cycle, batch control and required test evidence.
The exact control plan is agreed after the technical and commercial scope is understood.

01
Treatment basis
Confirm alloy, initial condition, specified process, target hardness or properties, distortion limits and required records or testing.
-
02
Supplier-process assessment
Assess the proposed supplier and furnace route against the material, part size, treatment method, process controls and evidence required by the project.
-
03
Validation when specified
Verify hardness, mechanical-property, microstructure, distortion or other specified evidence only where required by the drawing, standard or agreed inspection plan.
-
04
Batch traceability and release
Review the agreed batch or furnace identification, process records, test results, dimensional status and downstream readiness before release.
