The answer is very, very slowly. First, your parts
are placed in our exclusive Stealth processor at room temperature and are then cooled at
one degree per minute until -300° F is reached. This temperature is then maintained for
24 to 36 hours. Upon completion of the cooling process, the parts are returned to room
temperature at one degree per minute. The final step is a triple heat temper to +300° F,
for (3) one hour cycles with a one hour cool down in between. |
