Härtewerk Chemnitz GmbH, a large German commercial hardening plant (Lohnhärterei), has purchased a horizontal, two-chamber furnace low-pressure carburizing and oil quenching system from an international heat treat solutions provider. In the German plant, the integral quench system will replace legacy atmosphere technology and expand their capabilities for mass-producing parts.
This is the first SECO/WARWICK furnace equipped with vacuum heating at the heat treater's German plant and the first Super IQ solution in Germany. The system has a heating chamber, loading and unloading vestibule, and a quenching bath. The equipment in the system enables users to perform a variety of heat treatment processes, heat, and chemical treatment, as well as low-pressure carburizing and quenching.
"The machines we have worked with so far had required time-consuming and expensive preparation, especially when the equipment was not at the right temperature," commented Kai Werlitz, technical operations manager at Härtewerk Chemnitz GmbH. "The Super IQ furnace that we have ordered eliminates not only these difficulties but also enables efficient heat treatment with very high repeatability and uniformity of the carburized layer, which with atmospheric furnaces was only possible to a limited extent."
The heat treater's Chemnitz and Chomutov plants provide a wide range of services related to metal heat treatment and focus on Germany and Europe's mechanical engineering, automotive, and metalworking industries.
