A vacuum furnace recently shipped to a U.S.-based aerospace fastener manufacturer. The furnace will be primarily used to age-harden various fasteners of high strength alloys used in the aerospace industry.
This is the second Model HFL-5748-2IQ furnace for this manufacturer. Like the first furnace, the new furnace features a graphite insulated hot zone of 36” x 36” x 48” deep with a weight capacity of 5,000 lbs., a maximum operating temperature of 2400°F, and a 100 HP quench motor. The control system was customized to interface with the customer’s in-house automation system for recipe control and data acquisition.
“Our customer needed additional furnace capacity to keep up with demand,” commented Jason Davidson, regional sales manager, Solar Manufacturing.
