INDUSTRIAL STEEL TREATING CO: SERVICES
Industrial Steel Treating has unmatched quality and capacity to service the steel heat treating needs of manufacturers in the Midwest. IST offers best-in-class turnaround times and can service rush orders to help customers meet their deadlines and commitments.

INDUCTION HARDENED FASTENERS
Industrial Steel Treating is the world’s largest heat treat processor of induction hardened fasteners.

NEUTRAL HARDENING
Neutral hardening is performed on steel alloys with sufficient hardenability to attain designated surface and core hardness, without surface treatments (carburizing or carbonitriding). When neutral hardening in an atmosphere controlled furnace, the furnace atmosphere’s carbon potential is matched to the heated part’s carbon concentration; thus the heated part surfaces are not enriched or decarburized.

GAS CARBURIZING
Industrial Steel Treating offers controlled atmosphere gas carburizing services. The carburizing process enhances parts with a hard, wear resistant surface, and a fully hardened martensitic core.

GAS CARBONITRIDING
The carbonitriding process enhances parts with a hard, wear resistant surface. Desired part case depths are designed by product engineers, and controlled by several heat treat process variables.

ANNEALING AND STRESS RELIEVING
Annealing is the treatment of a metal or alloy by heating to a predetermined temperature and then cooling to room temperature. Annealing improves ductility and reduces brittleness. IST anneals in a controlled atmosphere to avoid surface scaling.

SURFACE FINISHING AND COATINGS
Rapids Tumble Finish provides vibratory finishing, shot blasting and zinc phosphate coatings to manufacturers. RTF has a wide array of machinery and media to achieve the specific results for each part we process.
