Heat treating is a critical process used to modify the mechanical properties of metal alloys, enhancing performance characteristics such as strength, hardness, ductility, wear resistance, and machinability. At Double Eagle Alloys, we coordinate a full range of heat treating services to help ensure materials meet the exact specifications and performance requirements of your application.
Whether your project requires standard annealing, solution treatment of specialty alloys, or precision hardening for critical components, our team can support your material processing needs from raw material through finished condition.
Heat Treating Capabilities
Double Eagle Alloys works with qualified heat treating partners to provide processing services across a wide range of specialty alloys, stainless steels, carbon steels, and nickel-based materials. Our capabilities are designed to support the demanding requirements of industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, defense, power generation, and petrochemical processing.
Available Heat Treating Processes
- Annealing – Softens material, improves machinability, and relieves internal stresses
- Solution Annealing – Commonly used on stainless and nickel alloys to dissolve precipitates and restore corrosion resistance
- Normalizing – Refines grain structure and improves mechanical uniformity
- Quenching & Tempering – Increases strength and toughness in alloy and carbon steels
- Stress Relieving – Reduces residual stress after forming, welding, or machining
- Age Hardening / Precipitation Hardening – Strengthens nickel alloys and precipitation-hardened stainless steels (e.g., 17-4 PH, Alloy 718)
- Case Hardening / Carburizing – Produces a hard, wear-resistant surface with a tough core (commonly used on 8620 and similar alloys)
- Hardening & Tempering to Specification – Meets customer-defined hardness or mechanical property requirements
Additional processes and customer-specific heat treatment procedures can be accommodated upon request.
Quality, Testing & Documentation
Heat treated materials can be supplied with the documentation required to support quality and traceability requirements, including:
- Material Test Reports (MTRs)
- Heat Treatment Certifications
- Hardness Testing
- Mechanical Testing
- Positive Material Identification (PMI)
- Third-Party Witness Testing (when required)
Our team can coordinate additional testing and inspection services to help meet the quality assurance requirements of your project.
