The vacuum furnace provides a work zone that accommodates the company’s need to heat treat large-sized parts and uses three process gases, argon, nitrogen, and hydrogen, to increase the process purity and reduce gas consumption costs during the cooling process. This is the eighth vacuum furnace the company has purchased from SECO/WARWICK and will be installed at the manufacturer’s European location.
“The demand for gas and wind turbines is systematically growing all over the world, and renewable energy is currently the focus of attention in all industries. It plays an important role in mitigating climate change, which is why it is important for us to be able to support a Partner who focuses on sustainable, renewable, and unlimited green energy,” said Maciej Korecki, vice president of the vacuum segment, SECO/WARWICK Group.

“The furnace’s three-gas partial pressure system helps prevent evaporation and sublimation of alloying elements from the load surface during vacuum heat treatment or vacuum brazing. Partial pressure control is important when processing many materials to prevent the hot zone evaporation and contamination,” said Kamil Siedlecki, sales manager at SECO/WARWICK.
