Abstract
An improved heat treating basket is disclosed for retaining parts on a heat treating tray as the parts are conveyed through a heat treatment process. The basket includes a plurality of side members attached together by connecting pins. Each side member has a thickness which tapers along the length thereof, on both an inner and an outer surface, to a narrow dimension located approximately halfway therebetween. The tapers equalizes the thermal gradient of the side member thereby prolonging the useful life of the heat treatment basket.
