Tool & Die
At Microtech Welding Corp., precision tool and die welding is the foundation of our business. Originally established as a tool and die welding job shop, we bring decades of specialized expertise in restoring, modifying, and rebuilding hardened components using advanced welding technologies. Whether you're working with worn punches, cracked cavities, or precision firearm parts, our team delivers reliable, metallurgically sound repairs that extend tool life and restore function.
Expert Welding of Tool Steels and Specialty Alloys
Our team has extensive experience welding a wide range of materials, including:
- Stellite and cobalt-chromium alloys
- Mild steels and low-carbon grades
- Stainless and alloy steels
- Custom blended filler metals for unique applications
We maintain a large inventory of specialty filler materials, matched to specific metallurgical requirements, ensuring consistent hardness, wear resistance, and structural integrity post-weld.
Advanced Welding Processes
Micro-TIG Welding (GTAW)
Ideal for delicate features and critical edges with minimal heat input, preserving heat treatment while providing precise control over weld bead size and deposition.
Laser Beam Welding (LBW)
For extremely fine repairs with heat-affected zones less than 0.010", offering excellent control for fine molds, cavities, and intricate surfaces with repeatable CNC-controlled weld profiles.
Standard GTAW for Structural Repairs
Used for large-scale repairs, fracture remediation, and major die modifications with structural buildup and recovery of cracked or broken features.
Applications
- Precision mold and die refurbishment
- Punch and die restoration
- Ejector pin hole repair
- Cavity rebuilding and dimensional corrections
- Fixture, jig, and gauge repair
- Tooling upgrades and design alterations
