Vacuum Heat Treat Furnace Systems
The Vacuum Team offers vacuum heat treating furnaces for a wide variety of processes. We build some of the largest and most technically advanced vacuum furnaces in operation today, developing advanced technologies like Universal HPQ™ (High Pressure Quench), PreNit® & FineCarb® and Low Pressure - LPC - vacuum carburizing.

Vacuum Furnace HPQ & LPC Carburizing Articles | |||
| Single Chamber High Pressure Gas Quench |  "Single-Chamber HPGQ Vacuum Furnace with Quenching Efficiency Comparable to Oil" This article discusses the new generation, single-chamber vacuum furnace with a high pressure gas-quenching system (HPGQ) that can quench with greater efficiency than a double chamber furnace with result comparable to oil quench systems. This article was published in the Sept. 2009 edition of Industrial Heating Magazine; Click here to download |

| High Pressure Quench (HPQ)
LPC Vacuum Carburizing FineCarb Process Controls Simulation Software |
"Next Generation HPQ Furnaces" published in the September 2008 edition of Heat Treating Progress (ASM Heat Treat Society publication) reviews the latest advances in HPQ - LPC Carburizing equipment and processes. State of the Technology issues are discussed, including:
Click here to read the complete article in .pdf format The Controls: FineCarb™ Control System provides precision process control automatically reducing process time Short Description - Click here Technical Paper - Click here SimVac™ Carburizing Simulation Software works with FineCarb process software as a professional tool to design vacuum carburizing process cycles: Users save time and reduce process errors by simulating steel carburizing process cycles prior running actual trials. The system allows the user to choose the carburizing and diffusion specifications, process, temperature, pre-cooling and soak times. The user can then select the steel grade from a complete menu of pre-programmed US, European and Russian specifications along with the part geometry, radius and surface area. The system automatically computes the batch weight and surface area.

Adamek, M. Korecki. SECO/WARWICK S.A., Swiebodzin, Poland is a discussion of the application of low pressure carburizing technology for hardening steel in metallurgical terms. |

| Heat Treatment of H-13 Die Steel | Importance of Precision Cooling during Vacuum Heat Treatment of Hot Work Tool Steel Heat treating finished tools made of chromium hot-work steels such as H13 (containing nominally 5% Cr and significant amounts of other alloys), particularly large ones, requires experience and a clear understanding of the phase changes and associated stresses occurring during the heating and cooling of the part.
