NTM has delivered small parts heat treating and blackening in Newport, PA since 1972. When you bring a job to NTM, you sit down directly with the people who will build your part. There are no corporate layers, no account managers, and no runaround.

How It Works

How heat treating and blackening works at NTM

01

Drawing Review

We review your drawings, or build one with you in SolidWorks if you're starting from scratch, so every process decision is built around your finish requirements.

02

Process Planning

Because heat treating and blackening both run in-house, we coordinate routine finishing without sending your parts off-site. For specialty processes outside our capabilities, we partner with trusted vendors we’ve worked with for years, so your job still moves efficiently.

03

Processing

Your parts run through heat treating, blackening, or both, depending on what your drawing requires, with the same team from first operation to last.

04

Inspection

Every order ships with documented inspection using Geo Met 101 and CMM Manager. Nothing leaves NTM without a record.

Can one shop handle this from prototype to production?

Yes, and at NTM, both run on the same floor with the same team. There's no gap between the person who ran your prototype and the team running production. If a drawing needs to change between the two, we make that adjustment before a single production part runs.

Questions, Answered

Frequently asked questions

Heat treating uses controlled temperature processes to change a part's mechanical properties, improving hardness, strength, or durability. Blackening applies a chemical conversion coating to the surface, providing corrosion resistance and a uniform dark finish. NTM handles both in-house.
When heat treating and blackening run in-house, your parts typically stay in the building from first operation to final delivery. That means fewer delays waiting on vendors, fewer coordination problems between shops, and less extra handling that can damage finished parts. Specialty processes outside our in-house capabilities are routed to trusted partners we’ve worked with for years.
Yes. Prototype and production both run on the same floor with the same team. If you have a part that's never been made before, we build the drawing in SolidWorks with you, work through the process, and move into production when you're ready.
