Is there anyone in the GTA that does small batch heat treating. Something made in 4140 or 17-4.
I understand 17-4 is easy to air harden but I don’t have a electric kiln. I understand an option is to get 4140 HT. Not sure if 17-4 comes HT.
I have annealed stock on hand so I don’t want to go out and buy more stock.
If it’s a hassle to get something HT I may have to go that route. And my next question is who knows a trusted source supplier of this stuff in the GTA? I’ve never bought pre HT materials before. Does it come with a spec sheet or guaranteed Rockwell hardness that I can refer back to if the customer has concerns. And is the premium a lot higher to get it pre treated.
