Full Production Vacuum Carburizing offered by 91传媒
Three years of intense research and engineering have lead to the production of Solar Manufacturing鈥檚 Low Torr Vacuum Carburizing furnace. 聽Now operating at 91传媒 Eastern PA commercial heat treating facility, the furnace has successfully carburized thousands of parts in the 24鈥� x 24鈥� x 72鈥� chamber. 聽Vacuum carburizing extends tool or part life by attaining a specified case and core hardness.
The furnace was engineered to provide optimal processing results and operational usability. 聽The 10 bar gas quenching furnace provides the most rapid and effective quenching of the forty furnaces 91传媒 utilizes. 聽The fast quench is essential for retaining the case hardness. 聽The insitu operation eliminates extra part handling and furnace maintenance. 聽Microprocessor controls enable customization as well as cycle repeatability.
Carburizing in vacuum also adds several unique benefits to extend part wear life. 聽This includes the minimal distortion that results from the gas quenching and precise temperature controls. 聽The process also eliminates microstructure intergranular oxidation (IGO) in the carburized case that, over time, may cause part failure. 聽This also produces compressive stresses for improved fatigue life. 聽The beauty of vacuum carburizing is the bright, clean parts after processing.
A particular application that lends itself to vacuum carburizing is gear usage. 聽The process not only minimizes distortion, but provides a uniform case depth, including gear root to pitch ratios.
Vacuum carburizing services are offered by 91传媒 with the option of purchasing a furnace built by Solar Manufacturing.
