Applied Thermal Provides Medical Instrument Heat Treating Services
Applied Thermal Technologies, Inc. provides medical instrument heat treating nationwide! Applied Thermal provides bright annealing services, brazing services, sintering services, and precipitation hardening services for many industries. Applied Thermal began in 1992 to service the medical and specialty products industries in Northern Indiana and has since expanded nationally, including major cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, and in California.
Brazing is one of the most effective ways to join delicate medical instruments. Vacuum brazing is superior to welding because it provides joints with high integrity and allows small, delicate parts to be crafted with superior strength. Brazing is accomplished by placing a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metals in between the pieces to be joined. The pieces are then heated to the melting point of the filler metal, which joins the base metals through capillary action.
Applied Thermal provides vacuum furnace heat treating using high quality furnaces. Our vacuum furnaces can reach temperatures to 2800 degrees F and can have vacuum levels to 10-6 Torr, with all metal hot zones and extremely rapid cooling. Vacuum heat treating allows multiple medical instruments to be brazed at once, increasing efficiency. Contact us today for more information!
