Thermal Conductivity
Metal Improvement Company (MIC) specialises in thermal processing of metal parts for a variety of industries, ranging from critical components for aircraft to high volume parts for automobiles. Thermal processes, such as heat treating, relieve stresses within fabricated metal parts and improve their overall strength, ductility and hardness.
We have the expertise and equipment to handle demanding project requirements and materials that include, but are not limited to:
- Aluminum
- Titanium
- Carbon steels
- Alloy steels
- Cast irons
- Tool steels
- Corrosion resistant steels
- Stainless steels
Each of our heat treating facilities uses programmable controllers that set temperatures and cycle times and monitor the heat treating process to assure a homogenous and correctly treated product.
Our attention to detail includes an on-going cost analysis that assures you the most economical approach with the highest standards of quality and delivery. For example, we can meet your project requirements through both batch heat treating and continuous heat treating. By involving us at the planning stage of your project, we also can recommend the best configuration, the best alloy and the best thermal process to meet your design requirements.
