The austenitic 300 series stainless steels can be annealed to restore their corrosion resistance or low temperature stress relieved to improve their dimensional stability. These treatments are generally performed in one of our car bottom furnaces that can handle parts weighing up to 10,000 lb. and up to 8 ft. x 6 ft. high.

The hardenable 400 series stainless grades such as 410, 416, 420, and 440C can be hardened in either one of our integral quench furnaces or a pit furnace under a protective atmosphere depending on the nature of the part.
