Our History with the Medical Industry

What sets us apart from other heat treatment companies is our dedication to perfection. For decades, we have been working and reworking our process to ensure it is perfectly catered to the needs of our medical clients.

Much like with aerospace and military/defense projects, the medical equipment projects we undertake utilize our famous vertical heat treatment gantry. We have specialized tools to fit all the various shapes and sizes of metal-based medical equipment, from bed frames to the drill bits used in surgeries.

Our Vertical Heat Treatment is Miles Ahead of the Rest

Through our proprietary vertical heat treatment process, Rex Heat Treat can properly heat treat even the smallest of bars (up to 2 inches in diameter). This efficient process gives us a significant leg up on our competitors. 

When it comes to precision and quality, you can trust in Rex Heat Treat to get the job done. Our engineers even work with each customer to ensure all their products are properly straightened after the treatment process.

We Work With the Following Equipment

  • One-Time Drill Bits
  • Orthopedic Tools
  • Titanium Implants
  • Hooks
  • Hospital Beds

The Rex Heat Treat Process

  1. 1. First, we put the alloys through a pre-treatment process, which includes cleaning the material and inspecting it to ensure there are no cracks or deep scratches.
  2. 2. Next, we ensure that each part is properly fixtured.
  3. 3. Once the parts are fixtured, they will be placed in the vertical furnace.
  4. 4. Then, we ensure that the furnace is properly sealed before heating the alloys. The length of time the parts “soak” is dependent on their alloy.
  5. 5. After the parts are done soaking, they undergo what is called quenching, a rapid cooldown. For medical equipment, we offer water, oil, gas, or salt quenching options.
  6. 6. Then, we temper the metal to ensure it isn’t too brittle after the quenching.
  7. 7. Finally, we inspect each part to ensure quality and send it off to the respective customers.
