Step 1
Understanding the requirement
Material specification, treatment cycle, and acceptance criteria confirmed against your programme requirements.
Step 2
Controlled processing
Treatment in calibrated furnaces under the specified atmosphere and cycle. Temperature logged throughout.
Step 3
Validation and delivery
Hardness and test results documented. Every component delivered with a complete treatment record.
Why does evidence matter as much as the treatment?
At HycAero, calibrated furnaces and controlled atmospheres are the operating standard. Temperature is logged throughout every cycle. Hardness testing is carried out before any component leaves.
Material properties confirmed, not assumed.
Temperature logs and hardness testing prove every cycle was carried out correctly.
On-site forming and heat treatment
Component straightening alongside heat treatment, no external transfer, a single point of accountability throughout.
Consistent results, batch after batch.
Calibrated furnaces and controlled atmospheres eliminate the variables that cause batch-to-batch variation.
Complete documentation to AS9100 Rev D.
Full treatment records with every batch: temperature logs, hardness results, process parameters.
