VAC AERO’s vacuum furnace design innovations are thoroughly tested in our own heat treating facilities before being offered to our customers. That means better quality, reliability and efficiency to maximize uptime and productivity.

Horizontal front-loading models provide great flexibility for general heat treating and brazing applications (available with external or internal quench loops).

Vertical bottom-loading models are ideal for processing large circular parts such as rings, stators or engine casings and long parts like shafts or rolls.

Our Vacuum Gas Quench Furnace features and capabilities include:

•  Operating temperatures to 2600°F (1425°C) and higher.

•  Ultimate vacuum levels in the 10-6 torr range.

•  Modular hot zone design for easy maintenance.

•  All-metal hot zones are available for ultra-high vacuum processing.

•  Alternatively, economical graphite-based insulation provides extended durability.

•  Heating elements available in lightweight curved graphite or molybdenum strip.

•  Selectable gas quench pressures from 2 bar to 10 bar and higher.

•  Fully automated control systems including PC-based controls with remote access.

•  Optional convection heating capability.
