Energy Heat Treating
Energy industry heat treating encompasses components and equipment for producing usable energy, including power generation, extraction (oil and natural gas), and energy generation (e.g., nuclear and “green” energy produced by wind, wave, solar, and geothermal technologies). Since heat treating also utilizes a great deal of energy, topics such as reducing the carbon footprint, natural gas conservation, pricing and availability, and emission reduction are important drivers. Heat treating for the diverse array of components and materials needed for the energy industry’s segment involves a wide range of materials and processes. Atmosphere, vacuum, and induction heat treating are used and processes such as hardening, carburizing (atmosphere and low-pressure vacuum), and nitriding (gas, plasma, salt) are a few of some of those in common use for the energy heat treating industry.
