Rochester Steel Treating Works, Inc. is a commercial heat treating company established in 1932. It maintains a number of industrial furnaces and ovens in order to provide heat treating services to approximately 400 customers in the Western New York area. Each furnace has different temperature and atmosphere capabilities. Temperatures used in heat treating cycles can range from -300 degress Farenheit to 2400 degrees Farenheit. Process atmospheres, developed by mixing industrial gases, are used for neutral hardening, nitriding, carburizing and carbo-nitriding processes.

The heat treatment of steel is a time and temperature process accomplished by the specific heating and cooling of parts at various rates. It is usually intended to accomplish any one of the following objectives:

• Remove stresses induced by cold working
• Refine the grain structure to improve ductility
• Increase hardness so as to increase resistance to wear
• Increase toughness, enabling it to withstand high impact
• Change or modify the electricalor magnetic properties of steel

RSTW is a job shop in a pure service industry where a wide variety of steel and related alloy parts are brought in for processing. Customers include area tool & die, screw machine, metal stamping, and manufacturing companies. Single shipments or orders have a large variance in process requirements and size. Parts may require from two hours to seventy-two hours of processing time and can range in size from two ounces of prototype spring clips to eight thousand pounds of forging dies.
