To support R&D and additive manufacturing projects, Solar Atmospheres of California (SCA) has added some small vacuum furnace capacity to their equipment offerings.
The new vacuum furnace was acquired from SCA’s furnace manufacturing sister facility, Solar Manufacturing (SAMI) located in Sellersville, PA, and was specifically designed to process a variety of materials between 600°F – 2400°F (+/-10°F) in both vacuum and/or partial pressure environments. Precise cooling capability up to 2-Bar in argon, nitrogen or helium is available with a maximum operating temperature up to 2650°F. The furnace is also equipped with the SAMI’s state-of-the-art SolarVac® Polaris Control System for optimum performance and precise cycle control.
"We are pleased to add this needed piece of vacuum furnace equipment to service our valuable customers," said Derek Dennis, president of SCA. "The additive manufacturing industry continues to grow, and this new furnace will allow SCA to respond to small builds and R&D projects quickly and precisely."
