Our Vacuum Heat Treatment Services guarantee exceptional quality across various applications, from precise hardening to tempering and annealing. We utilize advanced materials to enhance the Tool Lift and performance of components.
Process:
Tooling parts/components are heated in a horizontal state-of-the-art vacuum furnace above austenitising temperature and quenched at a predetermined cooling rate with the help of pressurized high purity Nitrogen gas. After quenching, multiple tempering heat treatment cycles are performed to achieve the desired hardness.
Advantages of Vacuum Hardening over Local hardening:
- Hardness uniformity throughout cross section
- Uniform microstructure
- Minimum dimensional distortion
- No oxidation or de-carb on component/ part surface
- Post cleaning not required
