Crafting Tools for Lasting Performance and Durability
In the pursuit of manufacturing high-quality tools with an extended service life, the importance of a precise heat treatment process cannot be overstated. Achieving the desired molecular properties and understanding the specific microstructure of each alloy is crucial for optimal tool performance. While outsourcing heat treatment work may provide the desired hardness, many commercial heat treatment companies lack the commitment to delve into the nuances of each alloy’s microstructure.
At MIR, we’ve made a strategic investment in a state-of-the-art heat treatment division, distinguishing ourselves by having the region’s only 12-bar vacuum furnace with on-site high-purity nitrogen generation. Additionally, we boast multiple smaller furnaces equipped with cryogenic quenching capability, enabling us to attain the extended life required for steel components, especially those made from powder metallurgy alloys.
Our approach to steel selection is meticulous — we procure directly from the world’s best steel mills, ensuring the preservation of original forged structures. This dedication extends to stress relieving our components multiple times and tempering them appropriately to achieve a uniform structure that guarantees the best possible steel performance.
By maintaining control over our heat treatment processes and steel input, we offer our clients the assurance of guaranteed tool life and exceptional performance. Our commitment to quality extends beyond our own projects, as we also extend our heat treatment solutions to third parties seeking access to high-quality and affordable options.
At MIR, we believe that the foundation of enduring tools lies in the precision of their heat treatment. Partner with us for heat treatment solutions that not only meet but exceed your expectations for tool longevity and performance.
