HEAT TREATING
Improve Tooling Durability with Metal Heat Treating Services
Metal heat treating services are designed to make superior, longer-lasting tooling. It involves heating up the metal until its microstructure changes. While in that state, it’s rapidly cooled, which hardens the metal. Heat treatments may be done throughout the manufacturing process, depending on the need. At Pivot Precision, we offer high-quality heat treating services to increase the durability of your tooling. Learn about our capabilities below or contact our team for more information.
Benefits of Metal Heat Treating Services
Increased Tooling Durability
Heat treatment can greatly increase the strength of your tooling, meaning it won’t wear out as fast and can make more parts before needing repairs.
Altered State Suits Specific Needs
When you alter the microstructure during the heat treating process, you can also alter its corrosion resistance, magnetism, and heat and electrical conductivity.
