Agriculture
industry case study:
An agricultural supplier that makes pellet mills was running
out of space to manufacture its equipment. As the mills
became too large for its heat treating furnaces, the company
had to decide whether to invest in a larger furnace or to
sub-contract the work. The company selected Quality Steel
Treating to perform the treatments.
The result: “After
partnering with Quality Steel Treating for several years,
we’ve been extremely pleased with the results they
deliver,” says the manufacturer. “By maintaining
the confidentiality of our heat treating process, Quality
has earned our trust. We’ve been able to grow our
business while avoiding significant capital investments.”

Automotive
industry case study:
When an auto racing manufacturer wanted to improve the durability
and overall performance of its torque converter, it contacted
Quality Steel Treating for advice. Quality’s staff
analyzed the company’s brazing specifications and
recommended a change in the alloy used in the manufacturing
process.
The result: “Thanks
to Quality Steel Treating, our product is able to withstand
much more torque per acceleration, delivering higher performance.
Since making the change, our product lasts longer than does
our competitors’,” explains the manufacturer.
“Using a different alloy has brought a measurable
increase in sales and dramatically enhanced our reputation.”

Construction
industry case study:
When a scaffolding manufacturer wanted to simplify production
while improving the safety and reliability of its product,
the company contacted Quality Steel Treating for advice.
Because of the location and type of joint on its scaffolding,
welding the assembly proved to be costly, time-consuming
and unreliable. Quality Steel Treating suggested switching
to brazing instead of welding and recommended a specific
alloy to improve the joint.
The result: “We’ve
been able to shorten our assembly time while actually improving
the safety and reliability of our product,” said the
manufacturer. “Thanks to Quality, I’m pleased
to say our scaffolding is stronger and more reliable than
ever.” construction

Aerospace
industry case study:
A leading aerospace company needed to remove hydrogen from
its Titanium wingspans. Because excess hydrogen has the
potential to cause hydrogen embrittlement that can lead
to microscopic cracks, the company chose Quality Steel Treating
as its partner in developing a new process for removing
the hydrogen. Quality’s staff worked for several months
with the aerospace company, performing different heat treatments
for laboratory testing.
The result: “Working
with Quality Steel Treating, we’ve documented a new
specification that can be used by all of our suppliers,”
says the company. “We now have a process that ensures
our wingspans consistently deliver maximum performance and
safety.” aerospace
