Aerospace and Other Industries

Lake City Heat Treating provides aerospace heat treating, medical heat treating and other state-of-the-art vacuum heat treating services for quality critical industries. Stainless steel tempering and other bright processing is also available. Our quality standards and continual process improvement efforts led us to being accredited by the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap).

We're not for everybody: LCHT specializes in vacuum heat treating/bright processing of stainless steel including hardening, tempering, annealing and precipitation hardening.This concentration of effort and expertise has enabled us to produce a product of superior quality that continually achieves excellent surface characteristics for subsequent passivation and polishing. As a result, our customers have eliminated additional cleaning and polishing operations after heat treat.

We also perform high quality heat treatment of nickel and cobalt alloys, titanium and air hardening tool steels. All of our furnaces are capable of achieving vacuums of 10^-6 torr and process temperatures to 2,400 degrees F with a work load size up to 24" x 24" x 40". This allows Lake City Heat Treating the capability and capacity to process your work-piece requirements to your exact specification.
