Heat Treating & Metallurgical Processing for Colorado Manufacturers
Nationwide Processing Support From ABS
ABS Metallurgical Processors provides heat treating and metallurgical processing services for manufacturers throughout Colorado.
Colorado customers can ship components directly to our Phoenix, Arizona facility for vacuum heat treating, controlled atmosphere processing, surface hardening, passivation, metallurgical testing and inspection, surface finishing, and other applicable thermal processing.
ABS has served manufacturers since 1960 with a focus on consistent quality, competitive pricing, dependable turnaround, and responsive service.
Heat Treating Capabilities for Colorado Manufacturers
Vacuum Heat Treating
Controlled thermal processing in a low-pressure environment for applicable components requiring minimal oxidation, reduced contamination, and consistent material properties.
Controlled Atmosphere Heat Treating
Regulated furnace atmospheres used to control processing conditions and help manage surface chemistry, oxidation, and unwanted decarburization.
Air Furnace Heat Treating
Thermal processing including annealing, normalizing, stress relieving, hardening, tempering, solution heat treating, and aging for applicable materials and specifications.
Surface Hardening
Carburizing, carbonitriding, gas nitriding, and ferritic nitrocarburizing for applicable components requiring controlled surface-hardening processes.
Passivation
Stainless steel passivation services to remove free iron and certain surface contaminants and promote the material’s passive oxide layer.
Metallurgical Testing & Inspection
Hardness testing, tensile testing, metallurgical analysis, case depth evaluation, and additional inspection and verification services.
Surface Finishing
Glass bead, garnet, and aluminum oxide blasting for cleaning, preparation, scale removal, and required surface conditions.
Ship Parts From Colorado for Processing
Colorado manufacturers can expand their outside processing options beyond suppliers located within the state.
Parts can be shipped directly to ABS in Phoenix for processing and returned when complete.
Provide our team with the material, quantities, specifications, required process, and applicable testing or inspection requirements. We’ll review the job and provide a quotation before processing begins.
Processing Support for Demanding Manufacturing Applications
ABS supports manufacturers, machine shops, aerospace suppliers, commercial fastener manufacturers, solar manufacturing companies, and other industrial customers.
For customers working to demanding specifications and production schedules, an outside processor needs to provide more than furnace capacity. Requirements must be understood, processing controlled, results verified, and schedules communicated clearly.
Those practical requirements have shaped how ABS has served manufacturers for more than six decades.
NADCAP Accreditation & Quality
ABS is NADCAP accredited and maintains additional applicable approvals.
Testing and inspection capabilities include hardness testing, tensile testing, metallurgical analysis, case depth evaluation, and other applicable verification services.
Contact ABS to verify the specific accreditation, approval, or processing specification required for your project.
