Austempering, by industry.
HTI austempers components for automotive, industrial, safety & defense, and hardware & fastener manufacturers — plus the specialty parts other heat treaters turn away. Wherever hardness, toughness, and precision can’t fail.
Trusted where parts can’t fail.
The same austempering specialization, applied to the parts each industry can’t afford to get wrong.
Automotive
High-cycle, safety-related components where fatigue life and dimensional precision are non-negotiable.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Hard-wearing production parts that have to hold tolerance and resist wear, run after run.
Safety & Defense
Safety-critical parts where consistent hardness and toughness can’t vary from lot to lot.
Hardware & Fasteners
High-volume hardware that needs a hard, tough working surface and a clean finish.
Specialty Applications
Difficult parts other heat treaters turn away — including case hardening and salvage of over-cased screws.
Talk to Our Team
Have an unusual part, or a spec that keeps failing elsewhere? Send it over and we’ll tell you how austempering performs.
Why manufacturers route these parts to us.
Across every industry, buyers come to HTI for the same reasons — the properties austempering delivers, backed by the capacity to run them at volume.
- Fatigue lifeThe bainitic structure improves fatigue-cycle resistance on high-cycle parts.
- Tight tolerances heldLess distortion and cracking than conventional quench and temper keeps finished parts in spec.
- Lot-to-lot consistencyComputerized autoloaders and continuous foreign-material reduction keep hardness consistent, every lot.
- Volume & just-in-timeFour continuous belt furnaces running 24/7/365 for just-in-time delivery.
