Heat Treat
With a 10,000-square-foot expansion of our heat treating facility, Overton Gear provides unrivaled
capacity and capability to heat treat gears up to 90" in diameter. Our newest additions include two
state-of-the-art carburizing systems that employ the latest U.S. and European technologies, along
with an 84-inch quench press – possibly the largest in the world.
Our heat treating facility offers annealing, normalizing carburizing, nitriding, hardening, quench and
tempering. We also have shot peening and shot blasting capabilities.
Each furnace is computer-controlled for temperature and atmosphere. To ensure the highest
quality, we continuously monitor all elements of the process for computer-controlled auto
adjustments. This is verified in our modern state-of-the-art metallurgical laboratory where
samples from each load are analyzed and accurately recorded.
