A new vacuum furnace for a division of the US Department of Defense will bolster its capability to ensure supply chain reliability. The furnace is equipped to handle steel hardening, surface engineering, vacuum annealing, nickel alloy processing, and titanium heat treatment.
As a critical supplier of aerospace components to the US Department of Defense, this division will use the new vacuum oil quenching furnace, provided by SECO/WARWICK, Group, to handle functions of the department’s existing heat treatment furnaces and expand their capabilities. The addition of low pressure carburizing (LPC) and high pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) is new to this location.
“Assuring redundancy in heating needs of this location was critical,” said Piotr Zawistowski, Managing Director of SECO/VACUUM.
