Forécreu - Pre-treated Solid Bars for Medical Instrumentation
Forécreu specializes in providing high-quality pre-treated solid bars, crucial components in medical instrumentation. These solid bars are manufactured from stainless steel known for its corrosion resistance, durability, and superior mechanical properties in demanding conditions. A unique aspect of these bars is their pre-treatment process, which offers significant time savings by delivering them ready for machining and thereby eliminating the need for preparatory steps. This feature is particularly beneficial in manufacturing precise orthopedic and dental instruments like drills and reamers. The pre-treatment ensures an optimal hardness and corrosion-resistance balance while maintaining uniform tool straightness of 1 mm per 1000 mm across the entire bar. Forécreu's extensive experience, over 70 years, in production methods and organizational capabilities, makes it a leading player in the medical, cutting tool, and industrial markets.
Pre-treated solid bars: time saving and guaranteed quality
One of the distinguishing features of our solid bars is the pre-treatment they undergo. This pre-treatment process is designed to offer our customers a dual advantage.
Time-saving
Our pre-treated solid bars are delivered ready for machining, eliminating the need for multiple preparation steps. This saves you valuable time in the manufacturing phase of your medical instruments.
Guaranteed quality
Pre-treatment ensures an optimum hardness/corrosion ratio, guaranteeing corrosion resistance while maintaining appropriate hardness levels. What’s more, the tool’s uniform straightness (1 mm per 1000 mm) is maintained at every point on the bar, which is essential for the precision of your instruments.
Our solid bars are the preferred solution for medical instrumentation, and in particular for your drills, end mills, taps, reamers and other orthopedic and dental instruments.
