Induction Heat Treating and More at Zion

You might find yourself asking that question as you look at our website or even after you talk to one of us here at Zion on the phone. We do a lot of things that are centered around induction heat treating. Remember, induction heat treating is a heat treating process where the treated area is typically a specific area of the part, not the entire part itself. Although it could sometimes be the entire area of a part – depending on certain circumstances. The induction heating services that we provide are numerous.

Let me give you a better picture of what we do. Induction heat treating for hardening specific areas of a part. Maybe like a bearing wear area on a shaft for example. Induction annealing for softening specific areas of a part. Induction brazing or soldering allows us to join together brass or copper pieces by binding them with a silver solder material. We also furnace temper or induction temper parts – this is to remove the brittleness that can occur after heat treating. Usually we work with parts that are less than 120 lbs. and easily handled by hand.

Our capabilities include being able to work with you on every level from engineering support and prototype development / testing up to large volume production runs with programs in the millions of pieces at any of our locations. By the way, we’re in Grand Ledge, Michigan; Valley City, Ohio and Hildebran, North Carolina.

In addition to the above, we also can straighten shafts, magnetic particle inspect parts by the use of ultra violet light and even freight forward your products to their next destination – wherever that may be. We offer these services even if you do not have a need for induction heat treating help.
We are also industry leaders in powdered metals applications that require induction heat treating. Which, by the way, if you’ve never had the experience in working with powdered metals – is a science all by itself.

Heck, sometimes we even are known for our corny jokes or riddles like this one: “What occurs only once in a minute, twice in a moment but never in a 1,000 years ?” Any takers ? If you can figure this out – I’ll send you a free Anti- Stress Kit. Send your answer to my email address at [email protected]

Our pricing is competitive. Just send us your prints with specifications and target pricing, and we’ll be happy to show you ! Our intent is to exceed your expectations by improving your balance of price, delivery and quality while meeting the needs important to your company through an open partnership where we work together with you.

Do you have a “problem job” that is giving you headaches ? We’d love to look at it with you. Our depth of induction expertise is un-matched in our industry. It doesn’t matter if it’s involving powdered metals, difficult geometries or finding a better source (and price) for a current production part. We can make a difference that will make you smile !
