CONTOUR: DESIGNED TO TO DO WHAT OTHERS SAID COULDNT BE DONE Contour was established in 1986 with the goal of providing a cost-effective solution to difficult heat treatment applications. This goal was attained through the development of an advanced computer-controlled induction heating technology known and patented as the Micropulse Process. Contour developed the Micropulse Process to rapidly harden gear teeth and other irregularly shaped parts requiring a high degree to case depth hardening and pattern accuracy. In 1986, a system was built specifically for Contour. This first system is still used today for processing parts and developing applications for customers. Contour has been building systems for its customers since 1990. Contours innovative processes and designs have yielded revolutionary improvements in our customers products. Although our long list of thermal processing patents is impressive, its our years of experience, combined with our knowledgeable team of in-house engineers and metallurgists that our partners have come to rely on for their thermal processing needs. From Induction to Nitriding, Contour is the clear choice for all your thermal processing needs when you need to harden: Crankshafts Camshafts Bearings Pinion, planetary, worm, spiral bevel, park sprag, and ring gears Torque converter components Steering component If theres one thing that separates Contour from the rest of the pack its our ability and willingness to develop custom induction hardening solutions to meet our partners needs. Contours heritage is rooted in engineering custom induction and thermal processing solutions, then building the equipment required to get the job done. If the equipment needed to meet specific component requirements isnt available off-the-shelf, Contour has the in-house experience and the engineering know-how to build the solution from the ground up.
