Vacuum hardening Furnaces
Vacuum hardening is a specialized heat treatment process used to enhance the mechanical properties of metallic materials. The workpiece is sealed inside a vacuum chamber to prevent oxidation and contamination. It's heated above its critical temperature and then rapidly cooled using cooling mediums such as nitrogen or helium. This process creates a hardened microstructure with improved strength, hardness, and wear resistance. Known for its precision and uniformity, vacuum hardening is ideal for aerospace, automotive, and tooling components, offering superior control over the hardening process for consistently reliable results.
