Industrial Vacuum Heat Treating for High-Performance Blades and Components

Simply the finest heat treating equipment in the world

Kinetic heat treats most of the products we produce. When you read about a knife maker who outsources this most critical function of the knife-making
process don’t walk away – run away. At Kinetic we firmly believe that: “Quality steel is the heart of your knife; but heat treating is its soul.”
At Kinetic we have 4 large vacuum furnaces, 3 Ipsen horizontal and 1 Lindberg vertical along with an Induction Systems 50kW induction heat treat system. If
you have the need for vacuum heat-treating tool steel or high-speed steel parts, send them to Kinetic; we have been doing it since 1971.

Industrial Heat Treating for High-Performance Blades and Components

Simply the finest heat treating equipment in the world

Kinetic heat treats by volume over 99.5% of the products it produces. When you read about a knife maker who jobs out this most critical function of the knife making process don’t walk away – run away. Because that manufacturer is letting someone else take control of the quality of your industrial knife. At Kinetic we firmly believe that: “Quality tool and high speed steel is the heart of your knife; but heat treating is its soul.”

At Kinetic we have 4 vacuum furnaces, 3 Ipsen horizontal and 1 Lindberg vertical along with an Induction Systems 50kW induction heat treat scanner with polymer quench furnace. If you have the need for vacuum heat treating of tool or high speed steel parts send them to a firm who has been doing vacuum heat treating of tool and high speed steels since 1971. And we have the ability to do pre- or post- heat treating work to your parts giving you one stop shopping!

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Treating

  • Do you provide vacuum heat treating?

    Yes! We specialize in vacuum heat treating for all air-hardening steels and many super alloys.

  • What are the benefits of vacuum heat treating?

    Vacuum heat-treatment nearly eliminates decarburization of your parts, which means higher-quality
    results and less post-processing costs.

  • Can you heat-treat both new and repaired blades and components?

    Yes! Kinetic maintains the careful control of process and geometry required to be successful.

  • Do you provide documentation for treated parts?

    Yes! Each batch includes hardness results and treatment records.
