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

With treatment in controlled sub-zero temperatures, components achieve exceptional improvements in hardness, toughness, and wear resistance.

The Metallurgy Lab ensures the highest standards in heat treatment processes with state-of-the-art testing equipment that monitors and measures metallurgical parameters precisely, as per client specifications.
