A U.S. manufacturer of heat treat furnaces will supply a new vacuum furnace to the heat treat subsidiary of Magnetic Shields Limited (MSL) of Kent, United Kingdom. MSL Heat Treatment will use this furnace in the manufacture of medical and scientific devices.
The partnership between Solar Manufacturing and MSL began in 2016, and this new Mentor® Pro vacuum furnace (HFL-3036-2IQ) will be manufactured in accordance with CE standards including the vacuum chamber being built to ASME/UKCA requirements.
This furnace has a working hot zone area of 18” wide x 18” high x 36” deep (457mm x 457mm x 914mm) with a weight capacity of 1,000 pounds (455 kgs). It will be able to reach temperatures up to 2400°F (1315°C) and will feature a three gas partial pressure system and an internal quench system designed for 2-bar (15 PSIG) positive pressure quenching.
"MSL Heat Treatment specialize in brazing and controlled heat treatment for medical and scientific applications," Colin Woolger, director of MSL Heat Treatment added, "This latest furnace [. . .] will enable us to continue to provide high quality solutions to our growing customer base. The inclusion of hydrogen as a process gas also allows us to utilize the furnace for magnetic annealing to a very high specification."
"[We're] pleased to continue working with MSL as a supplier for their thermal processing needs," stated Rick Jones, vice president of International Sales at Solar Manufacturing. This will be the third vacuum furnace that the heat treat furnace provider will supply to MSL Heat Treatment.
