The topic of heat treatment is one part science and often it seems, two parts smoke and one part black magic.

Or contact Patrick at Nevada Heat Treating or Miles Free at PMPA and we’ll email you the article as a .pdf.
It will really be worth your time before you send that next batch of parts out to take a ride through the Fire…
