Salt to Salt Austempering Heat Treatment

Hudapack’s Glendale Heights facility offers salt-to-salt austempering capabilities. With our computer controlled handler and 30” deep salt tanks, this system is ideal for long distortion prone parts such as cutting knives and lawn mower blades and hardening of ductile iron, grades 1 through 4, for easier machining. Austempering is very beneficial in reducing distortion and improving material toughness, and has applications in many industries.
