Tantalum Heat Treatment

I need parts solution treated and aged, or quenched and tempered, to an aerospace specification. Who is accredited for my material?

What it is

Solution treating, aging, annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering in air, controlled atmosphere or salt. The route for aluminum and most steels, where reactive and refractory metals instead require vacuum.

    Heat treatment is named within a vertically integrated in-house process covering melting, machining, heat treatment and recycling of tantalum. IMPORTANT SCOPE LIMIT: this is semiconductor thin-film deposition material, not structural or chemical-process tantalum. Forms are targets, plates, coils and pots. Sheet, foil, rod, tube and wire are not named. And while the material is sourced from Newton, Massachusetts, the finished targets are produced at a South Korean plant, so this is not an end-to-end domestic supply chain.
