Tooling Performance - Heat Treatment

Here at The Cleveland Punch and Die Company, we do our Heat Treating in house under tightly controlled quality standards. This process is something we take very seriously because it provides us with a competitive advantage over our competition. Our Heat Treat cycle adds more quality and value to our tooling...thus achieving "More Holes Per Dollar".

The following diagram refers to what metallurgists call the TTT diagram. This diagram depicts heat treat optimization. These three simple steps display precisely what takes place in the heat treat process. Heat treat is indeed a science and not a guessing game or process to be taken lightly. Tool life and performance is materially affected by proper Heat Treating. There really is a difference with tooling made by The Cleveland Punch and Die Company.
