    Heat Treat Radio #130: AMS2750 Pyrometry Best Practices

    Heat Treat Radio host Heather Falcone is joined by Andrew Bassett, president of Aerospace Testing and Pyrometry, for a deep dive into AMS2750 and best practices for managing pyrometry compliance. Drawing on more than 35 years of hands-on experience and his role on the AMS2750 writing team, Bassett explains how the specification has evolved and why pyrometry continues to drive a majority of audit findings. The conversation explores common compliance pitfalls, practical system-level solutions, and how heat treaters can better prepare for audits without over testing. Falcone and Bassett also discuss the value of industry involvement in shaping standards that directly impact daily heat treating operations.

    Heat Treat Radio #124: Solving Aluminum Distortion Challenges with Uphill Quenching

    What do Mars rovers, sniper pods, and rotor grips have in common? Uphill quenching — a thermal-mechanical technique that uses liquid nitrogen and high-velocity steam to dramatically reduce stress and distortion. In this episode of Heat Treat Radio, Greg Newton, Newton Heat Treating CEO, joins host Doug Glenn to take a dive deep into this little-known but highly effective process for controlling residual stress in aluminum alloys. Also in the episode is John Avalos, Newton’s quality engineer and IT/Digital Transformation Manager. Learn how this thermal-mechanical method improves machinability, enhances precision, and extends component life, especially in aerospace and optical applications.
