Vacuum Furnace Technology

We build Vacuum Furnaces for most processes including hardening, tempering, annealing, solution heat treating, brazing, sintering, carburizing, carbon/carbon composites, CVD–graphitizing and degassing.  SECO/WARWICK has entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Retech Systems LLC to provide vacuum melting equipment.

Experts in vacuum technology, SECO/WARWICK has built some of the largest vacuum furnaces in operation today, developing cutting edge technologies like Universal HPQ™ (High Pressure Quench) , low pressure vacuum carburizing and control systems that integrate power management and automate complex processes. SECO/WARWICK has recently introduced ZeroFlow® Gas Nitriding Option to our standard Vacuum Retort Tempering Furnaces and SimVac® process modeling software to work with our FineCarb® automated vacuum carburizing process systems .

SimVac™ Carburizing Simulation Software

SimVaC 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. Contact Janusz Kowalewski, VP Vacuum Group for more information and a demonstration - +1-814-332-8491.
