HEAT TREATING

When the extrusion process is complete, the headers are either normalized, normalized and tempered, or quench and tempered heat treated. After heat treatment, in-house destructive or nondestructive tests can be performed.

RADIOGRAPHY

All longitudinal seams are completely radiographed in-house to verify weld integrity.

STRESS RELIEF

Headers may be stress relieved. Where scraper bars are required, outlets are machined and bars installed prior to
stress relief.

BLASTING

Headers are either shot or sand blasted to a commercial finish.
