Heat Treating


Our mission is to provide the highest quality heat treating facility in the industry. We offer our customers extensive capabilities and exceptional service.
 As technologies change, Milwaukee Gear changes. We continue to offer the highest standard of quality control throughout the entire process. Our employees are committed to doing the job right the first time.
Our stringent quality controls exceed industry expectations. We pride ourselves in providing on-time heat treating from quench and temper to the demanding and complex control of case depths and core hardness requirements.
Our team of employees provide customers with constant, accurate, quality driven and on time production control. To maintain this consistent high quality, we have combined the latest, most sophisticated equipment and equipment monitoring systems with the finest technical talent available including die quenching capability.
After heat treatment, parts are inspected in our Quality Control Department where our Metallurgical Laboratory provides the most precise testing. By adhering to this proven policy, we assure our customers of consistent quality heat treatment.
Certification of heat treatment data is available as required. Metallurgical mounts are retained to ensure consistency of the process and parts.

Capabilities
The largest of our atmosphere-controlled integral quench furnaces is capable of handling 4,000-pound loads with lengths of 72 inches and diameters of 36 inches. Our pit furnaces are capable of processing material up to 72 inches in length and 60 inches in diameter. We also have capabilities of solution annealing parts up to nine feet long and six feet wide.
