Heat Treating

Modern Industries is your regional leader in commercial heat treating.  We take pride in our modern facilities, advanced process techniques, and state-of-the-art network systems.

Aluminum Process

Aluminum Process

One of the best ways to strengthen an aluminum alloy is through a solution treat and aging process at Modern Industries. Our solution treating is typically performed between 890-1010° F which is followed by a six second quick quench. The process typically ends in an aging furnace where the material finalizes its hardening process.

Vacuum Process

Vacuum Process

At Modern Industries, we have multiple vacuum furnaces and we use the most efficient and technical equipment available to guarantee a fantastic experience and end product. Our Vacuum Processing helps reduce size changes and eliminate many of the problems often associated with other methods of processing.

Continuous Furnace

Continuous Furnace

Modern Heat Treat has the ability to perform neutral hardening, case hardening, and carbo-nitriding operations in our continuous furnaces.

Atmosphere Process

Atmosphere Process

Modern Industries has the equipment and ability to process parts from multiple steels and alloys within a wide range of sizes. Batch furnaces are equipped with oil or water quench, protective atmospheres, state of the art computerized controls, and constant monitoring/data collection of all processing parameters in our furnaces.

Gas Carburizing

Gas Carburizing

Carburizing is a heat treating process in which iron or steel absorbs carbon liberated when the metal is heated in a carbon enriched atmosphere. The process leads to a hardening of the metal which allows the product to be used in a wider variety of outputs due to the increased hardness.

Induction Hardening

Induction Hardening

Modern’s Induction Hardening machines can be configured as a single or dual spindle, vertical scanning system for hardening or tempering a wide variety of parts. It’s equipped with quick disconnects to allow for faster tear down and set-up times. The variable frequency capability makes this machine ideal for meeting the stringent requirements of wrought alloys or even the toughest powdered metal profiles and case depth requirements.

Carbo-nitriding

Carbo-nitriding

Carbo-nitriding is a metallurgical surface modification technique that’s used to increase surface hardness of a metal as well as reduce wear. The carbo-nitriding process involves the diffusion of both carbon and nitrogen into a base steel which can be carried out in a furnace gas.

Gas Nitriding

Gas Nitriding

Nitriding is a heat treating process that diffuses nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a hardened surface. Nitriding is most commonly used on medium and high-carbon steels, nitralloy, and several others.

Ferritic Nitrocarburizing

Ferritic Nitrocarburizing

Ferritic Nitrocarburizing encompasses a range of case hardening processes that diffuse nitrogen and carbon into ferrous metals at sub-critical temperatures. The processing temperature ranges depending on the job. FNC has a high resistance to wear and it’s more resistant to corrosion than other types of processing.

Modern’s Induction Hardening machines can be configured as a single or dual spindle, vertical scanning system for hardening or tempering a wide variety of parts.

Special Processes

Special Processes

Modern Industries offers a variety of special processes to fit or compliment your heat treating needs.

Car Bottom Furnace

Car Bottom Furnace

8′ W x 6′ H x 12′ L 30,000 lbs. Load Capacity

Sand and Shot Blasting

Sand and Shot Blasting

Sandblasting is the process of using compressed air to propel some sort of abrasive mineral at a rough object to shape, strip, or smooth the surface.

Cryogenics and Deep Freezing

Cryogenics and Deep Freezing

Modern Industries has deep freezing capabilities of down to -300 degrees F.
