As the automotive industry faces new federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, the need for lightweight, ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) components is rising. Lindberg/MPH is an American-based manufacturer with over a century of expertise in industrial furnaces and the metallurgical know-how your company needs to stay ahead of production.
Lindberg/MPH hot stamping furnaces and press hardening furnaces provide uniform heating for a wide range of high-strength steels or aluminum materials prior to hot stamping or hydro-forming applications. Lindberg/MPH hot stamping furnaces are available in batch or multiple batch style configurations and are designed to heat any structural size or shaped part. These furnaces can be designed with rapid and selective heating areas, fast opening doors to meet any loading/unloading speeds, and data acquisition systems for full process reporting.
