Fisher
Barton's in-house heat treating
capabilities
and expertise assures our customers the highest
quality throughout
the manufacturing process. It is
the foundation that provides a

Austemper Heat Treating
The unique
Fisher Barton austempering
heat treatment
process produces high hardness parts that are extremely
ductile.
 | Austempering produces its hardened
structure gradually. |
 |
Austempering's relatively high
temperature quenching
provides many advantages:
 | Transformation stresses
dissipate gradually. |
 |
There is increased plasticity
from controlled |
transformation stages.
 |
A smaller transformation change
is associated |
with this transformation. |
Austempering assures you...
 | Increased hardness and ductility |
 | Increased impact strength |
 | Quench crack elimination |
 | Eliminated scale or decarburization |
 | Minimal distortion and size change |
 | Lot to lot uniformity |
