Dimensional changes after heat treatment are a result of crystalline structure changes and are usually less than an eighth of a percent in linear dimension. Warpage is usually the result of bad practices in process including rapid heating, overheating, non-uniform heating, non-uniform cooling,non-uniform agitation,and water contamination in the quenching oil.
Choosing steels with higher hardenability (alloys rather than plain carbon steels), finer grain size, and paying attention to the details of loading, time at temperature, and quenchant delivery are all steps that can minimize warpage distortion, even when part design is less than optimum.
Straightness is perishable in bars.
Straightness is critical for holding position and tolerances on today’s highly engineered medical, aerospace, automotive and electronic parts.
Here are six ways that bars can lose their straightness.
A bachelor’s degree is a good investment, except when it doesn’t lead to a job. Latest report from BLS suggests that almost 15% of recent college graduates are not in the workforce, and that another 12.6% of recent college grads are unemployed.

We will be attending the release of this important report aimed at creating “actionable, non -partisan ways to create middle class manufacturing jobs.”
