Profile: Solar Atmospheres, Inc. specializes in vacuum heat treating, vacuum brazing and vacuum carburizing services. We are accredited with ISO 9001:2000 and AS 9100:2004 standards. We also deal with annealing, normalizing, homogenizing, sintering, diffusion bonding, stress relieving and solution treating. Our low torr range vacuum carburizing prevents microstructure surface intergranular oxidation and decarburization. The presence/absence of carbides is controlled according to specification requirements. The process produces compressive residual stress for improved fatigue life. Metallurgical properties attained provide optimal surface and core hardness extending part performance & wear life. Vacuum brazing is one of the strongest bonding methods available for metal joining. It is especially useful when minimal distortion is important for small/larger assemblies. We also offer specialized processing services. Our extensive furnace capabilities allow us to meet a wide variety of metal processing needs, for any size project.
