An international extrusion die maker with in-house heat treating is set to modernize its gas-fired combustion technology with eleven furnaces at three U.S., Canada, and Mexico locations. The upgrade: new vacuum, nitriding, and tempering furnaces that will increase consistency and precision nitriding potential and reduce gas emissions.
SECO/VACUUM will deliver four Vector® single-chamber gas quench vacuum furnaces, six tempering furnaces, and one ZeroFlow® pit-type gas nitriding furnace for use in the aluminum extrusion industry.
"This is a big deal for the customer," said Peter Zawistowski, managing director of SECO/VACUUM. "They’ll benefit from a complete modernization of their heat treatment capabilities across all of North America with clean, efficient vacuum heat treatment technologies. It’s a bigger deal for vacuum heat treating as a whole. It proves we’ve made great strides in the industry to convert legacy atmosphere users into vacuum technology believers."
