MTU Aero Engines AG will receive a vertical vacuum furnace with the purpose of bringing heat treat in-house. The bottom-loading and gas cooling furnace will be used to process components for civil aircraft jet engines.
SECO/WARWICK Group, a global furnace technologies company with locations in North America, will supply the Vector® vacuum furnace. The equipment has an internal cooling gas blower as well as internal heat exchanger. The system is in accordance with the AMS2750G standard in the second class (II) including B-type instrumentation for the aviation industry.
“The aerospace/MRO industry is facing a major challenge. Interrupted supply chains and the difficult geopolitical situation in Europe means that many AEROSPACE/MRO companies have to revise their existing development and optimization strategies,” says Maciej Korecki, vice president of the Vacuum Segment at SECO/WARWICK Group. “[MTU’s] bringing the heat treatment process in-house with the purchase of this vacuum furnace allows the company to fully control the production process.”
