About the process:
Process uses low atmospheric pressure instead of a protective gas atmosphere. Suitable for tool and die and stainless steel work.
Advantages:
- Prevents surface reactions (scaling and decarburization)
- Can be used to add a surface layer to parts
- Can be used to remove surface contaminants
- Process does not require furnace conditioning or carbon potential control of prepared atmospheres
Equipment/Capabilities
- Ipsen 100-lb. capacity, 2-bar rapid quenching capability.
