HEAT TREATING

Vacuum Heat Treating

Vacuum furnace heat treatment heats alloy metals to very high temperatures for processes like annealing, austenitizing, precipitation hardening, aging, and stress relieving. This method ensures high consistency and low contamination, producing bright parts.

Benefits of Vacuum Heat Treating

  • Uniform temperatures
  • Temperature can be controlled within a small area.
  • Quick cooling of product.
  • Computer controlled to ensure metallurgical repeatability.
Heating metals to high temperatures normally causes rapid oxidation, which is undesirable. A vacuum furnace removes the oxygen and prevents this from happening.

Vacuum Capabilities

Six Vacuum Furnaces of various sizes up to 72” x 60” working chamber. Three furnace types including several bottom loaders and one high speed, rapid quench unit. Furnaces used for: Solutioning, bright annealing, hardening, tempering, normalizing, stress relieving and aging. Maximum temperature 2400º F Endothermic is a common atmosphere used in heat treating for applications that require an oxygen reducing atmosphere. The most common heat treatment applications include gas carburizing and carbonitriding. It is important to understand that endothermic gas is t a mixture of different gases.
