Aerospace Heat Treater Brings Carburizing In-House

A North American heat treater in aerospace manufacturing acquired a three-cell vacuum furnace for multi-purpose operation from a U.S.-based manufacturer of vacuum furnaces. The system will bring the heat treater's carburizing processing in-house and contribute to the facility's ability to maintain takt time.

ECM USA's director of sales, Bill Gornicki, announced the purchase of a NANO system vacuum furnace for use in the North American aerospace market. The system will provide low pressure carburizing, hardening, brazing, and annealing, automation capabilities, cryogenics, tempering, and pre-washing. Both alloy and CFC fixtures will be used in this installation.
