Medical Vacuum Heat Treating Services

Medical heat treating processes for maximum durability

To medical doctors and their patients, an aesthetically bright, bio-compatible and readily sterilized, clean implant or instrument is imperative. To the medical device engineer, material properties are crucial for the proper fit, form and function of the implant or instrument. Solar Atmospheres medical heat treat processes continue to meet the needs of the medical markets, providing bright, clean results, with minimal distortion and exact final mechanical properties. MedAccred approved heat treating services.

Dedicated Medical Heat Treating Furnaces

Solar Atmospheres’ facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art vacuum furnaces designed for precision heat treatment of metallic medical components, ensuring superior hardness and durability. The vacuum heat-treating process effectively removes oxygen from the furnace, preventing oxidation, which typically occurs when metals are exposed to high temperatures. This environment allows for highly controlled heating at pre-set temperatures ranging from below 900 to 2,450°F.

Through precise heat treatment, we optimize the hardness of medical implants and instruments, ensuring their structural integrity throughout their lifespan. This leads to enhanced safety and functionality for patients.

Medical Materials Heat Treated at Solar Atmospheres

Solar Atmospheres specializes in the vacuum heat treatment and processing of stainless steels, performing procedures such as annealing, stress relieving, age hardening, hardening and tempering, precipitation hardening, and brazing. This advanced process eliminates the need for additional cleaning or polishing after heat treatment. Our expertise extends to heat-treating high-quality materials such as nickel, nickel chromium super alloys, Inconel, nitinol, niobium, elgiloy, cobalt alloys, titanium, and air-hardening tool steels, delivering exceptional results across various critical applications.
