Solar Atmospheres of Michigan has earned Nadcap 18-Month Merit Status for heat treating and brazing.

According to the company, this honor is given only to organizations that consistently show the highest levels of quality, process control, and specification compliance. Every Solar Atmospheres location nationwide now has Nadcap merit status thanks to this achievement.

The company said it appreciates PRI’s recognition of its teams dedication to stringent process discipline, precise processing, and a commitment to quality in every operation.

“With the purchase, name change, and relocation of our Michigan business in 2022, the PRI Nadcap standards reverted back to annual audits,” said Solar Atmospheres president Bob Hill. “The achievement of zero major findings over the past three years of audits has allowed us to once again join all of our other Solar facilities across the country with Merit standing. This accomplishment further strengthens Solar Atmospheres’ promise to deliver reliable, world-class thermal processing solutions to our customers in Michigan and across the nation.”

Solar Atmospheres of Michigan is part of the Solar Atmospheres family of companies, offeting a variety of vacuum heat treating and brazing services. The company services industries including aerospace, defense, medical, power generation, and others.

Last month, the company bolstered its heat treatment capabilities with a second all-metal hot zone vacuum furnace within the climate-controlled processing area at the company’s Hermitage, Pennsylvania, facility. The new system significantly augments the company’s ability to treat highly sensitive materials such as precipitation-hardened stainless steels, nickel-chrome-based superalloys, titanium, and niobium.
