Our Heat Treating Advantage
Aerospace and defense components require more than heat. They require a provider that understands how controlled thermal cycles and atmosphere interact with metal microstructures to produce predictable, verifiable mechanical properties. Our heat treating specialists interpret precise thermal specifications and deliver consistent, traceable results that meet the demands of high-consequence defense and aerospace programs.
Our Processes
Comprehensive Thermal Processing
Vacuum Furnace Heat Treating
Vitesse vacuum heat treating systems provide contamination-free environments for hardening, stress relieving, annealing, and solution treating. Precision temperature uniformity and controlled atmosphere eliminate surface oxidation and minimize distortion, producing highly repeatable results on aerospace-grade alloys.
Advanced Aluminum Heat Treatment
Our aluminum heat treating furnace supports multiple quench methods including forced air, air/mist, and liquid quench, giving our team the flexibility to control distortion while achieving target mechanical properties for structural and precision aerospace components.
Tempering & Stress Relief
Post-hardening tempering and stress relief operations balance strength and toughness, eliminate residual stresses from prior machining or forming operations, and ensure component dimensional stability throughout service life.
Cryogenic Processing
Cryogenic treatments further refine metal microstructures to enhance wear resistance and dimensional stability for defense and aerospace components where tight tolerances must be maintained across operating conditions.
Brazing & Joining
Our heat treating portfolio includes precision brazing services performed to exacting aerospace standards, producing strong metallurgical bonds in complex assemblies through controlled capillary action and precise filler flow.
