Heat Treating
Elevate performance and reliability with professional Heat-Treating from Bulaw Welding. Pre‑weld treatment minimizes distortion and cracking, setting the stage for a clean, stable weld. Post‑weld treatment improves toughness, refines microstructure, and relieves residual stress, delivering stronger, more consistent components over the long term.
Bulaw Welding provides a variety of Heat-Treating processes that can be utilized before and after Welding is complete. We use modern, calibrated equipment and enforce rigorous procedures to ensure consistent quality and reliable results on every job. Explore our services below to see which process best fits your requirements:
- Vacuum Hardening: High-strength, high‑hardness results with clean surfaces and tight tolerances; ideal for premium tools and precision components pre or post‑weld
- Vacuum Annealing: Stress relief and dimensional stability for easier machining and consistent performance post‑weld.
- Vacuum Tempering: Reduces brittleness and balances toughness for durable, in‑service reliability post‑weld.
- Hydrogen Annealing: Ultra‑clean, bright finishes and improved electrical/magnetic properties via reducing atmosphere post‑weld.
- Continuous Annealing: Uniform grain refinement and stable properties for strip and coil production at scale.
- Induction Hardening: Rapid, localized surface hardening for superior wear and fatigue resistance with minimal distortion.
