• Heavy Equipment

We Provide Primary and Secondary Processing Services

Primary processing services include quenching heat treatment and case hardening.

• Quenching Heat: Metal is heated above critical temperature, then cooled by the help of oil or a similar agent. This augments the metal’s durability and improves mechanical properties.
• Case Hardening: Used on gears and other machine parts that frequently rotate, case hardening leave the core of the metal soft while strengthening its outer surface, which increases wear resistance and prevents metal fatigue.

In addition to primary processing, we offer secondary services like tempering, which adjusts the hardness of the metal. We also provide the following secondary services:

• Stress relieving
• Annealing
• Deep Freezing and Cryogenics

These are just a few of the heat treatments that Specialty Steel Treating provides. Call us today at 586-293-5355, and we look forward to working with you.
