How do sintering parameters, especially the sintering atmosphere, affect the quality achievable from parts? Do you know what your three gas options are? Find out this and more, including an evaluation of some interesting solutions for your heat treating needs.
An excerpt:
"However vacuum furnaces operating with hydrogen require additional safety measures. For this reason, specific design solutions (such as double seals on all the furnace flanges) and software safeties are adopted. Despite the increased degree of complexity of the equipment and the higher process costs, vacuum furnaces operating with hydrogen over-pressure bring several advantages. . ."
