A furnace manufacturer located in Buffalo, NY will provide both an Electron Beam (EB) and Vacuum Arc Remelt (VAR) furnace to an American company. This combination should allow them to expand their production.
Retech, a SECO/WARWICK Group division, will provide these two furnaces to a longstanding repeat business partner. VAR technology operates similarly to the far older metallurgical process of stick welding, except with a much larger welding rod of several tons, and it is shielded from oxidation by a vacuum chamber instead of a flux. EB technology operates similarly to the cathode ray tube in old television sets, except instead of energizing a phosphorescent screen in a sealed vacuum tube, the electron beam heats a melt pool in a large vacuum chamber.
“[This partner] has purchased Retech furnaces previously," comments Earl Good, managing director at Retech. "The VAR furnace is a follow-up to other similar systems we sold them before, as is the EB."
