Youngstown Tool & Die, a manufacturer of aluminum extrusion dies, upgrades in-house heat treatment with two Vector® HPGQ furnaces from SECO/WARWICK.
Increased capabilities, increased throughput, and increased customer quality are the attributes behind Youngstown Tools & Dies (YTD) decision to upgrade their existing atmosphere heat treatment capabilities to new high-pressure gas quench (HPGQ) vacuum furnaces from a SECO/WARWICK Group.
YTD from Ohio specializes in manufacturing aluminum extrusion dies and because of demand, is moving into a larger facility to accommodate increased production needs. This is their first purchase from SECO/VACUUM, and proximity and fast delivery were both factors in the decision. Other tangible factors reflected Youngstowns confidence in SECO/WARWICKs core values, including the companys commitment to fulfill obligations by responding quickly to customer needs, by meeting deadlines, and by contributing reliability in every process.
Vector is a versatile heat treat system. Heat treating dies is the task Vector is designed to do well. Because Vectors high-pressure gas quench system cools dense masses evenly and quickly without distortion, die quality and consistency are improved versus atmosphere heat treatment methods.
