Advanced Heat Treat Corp. (AHT), a recognized leader in heat-treat services and metallurgical solutions, announced the addition of a new gas nitriding system at its corporate headquarters located in Waterloo, Iowa.
The investment increases AHT’s Iowa location’s size capabilities for gas nitriding, gas nitrocarburizing, and its trademarked heat-treat process for wear and corrosion, UltraOx®. The equipment can also be used for stress relieving.
The new gas nitride system, which is up and running, can accommodate parts up to 26 feet in height. The equipment will serve applications within the industries of plastics, oil and gas, hydraulics, and more.
AHT has expanded its gas nitriding services over the past couple decades, and even more so in the past couple years. AHT has invested in four new gas nitriding units since 2019 and has added more gas nitriding-related accreditations and specifications such as Nadcap, AMS 2759/6, AMS 2759/10, and AMS 2759/12.
“I am proud of what our team is accomplishing and look forward to growing our gas nitriding business even more,” said AHT president, Mikel Woods. “Now we are able to better accommodate large and long parts at all of our nitriding locations.”
The company has nitriding facilities in Waterloo, Iowa; Monroe, Michigan; and Cullman, Alabama. Their second location in Waterloo, Iowa, focuses on traditional heat treatment such as carburizing, induction hardening, through hardening, and more.
