Furnaces & Parts

Vacuum furnace chambers have a wide range of applications across various industries:

Heat Treatment

• Annealing: Softening metals for improved machinability and to enhance mechanical and electrical properties
• Normalizing: Improving the mechanical properties of steel
• Hardening: Increasing the hardness of steel
• Tempering: Reducing the brittleness of hardened steel
• Carburizing: Increasing the carbon content of steel to improve wear resistance
• Nitriding: Improving the surface hardness of steel by introducing nitrogen

Sintering

• Ceramics: Reducing porosity and enhancing strength, transparency, thermal conductivity, or electrical conductivity
• Cermets: Joining ceramics and metals to create hard, wear-resistant materials
• Refractory metals: Producing high-melting-point metals like tungsten and molybdenum
• Cutting tools: Manufacturing cemented carbide cutting tools

Brazing

• Joining metal components using a filler material
• Producing vacuum switching chambers for the electrical industry
• Joining aluminum products like heat exchangers

Melting and Casting

• Glass: Melting raw materials to produce glass
• Non-ferrous metals: Melting metals like aluminum, copper, and precious metals
• Ferroalloys: Producing alloys containing iron

Pyrolysis

• Decomposing organic waste at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen
• Converting biomass into valuable products like charcoal and biofuels

Vacuum furnace chambers play a crucial role in many industries, enabling processes that are essential for the production of a wide range of materials and products while preventing oxidation and contamination
