Thermal-Vac Technology partnered with Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems to add precision gas nitriding and FNC capabilities at its facility in Orange, Calif. Gasbarre will supply an electrically heated furnace that is capable of processing workloads that weigh up to 7,000 lb.
A dual-chamber furnace will allow a Midwest company to heat treat small tool-steel parts in-house in a timely manner. The upper hardening chamber is rated up to 2200°F (1205°C), while the lower convection oven tempers up to 1200°F (650°C).
An electrically heated rod overbend atmosphere box furnace will perform a heat treatment on aerospace parts within the work chamber under a reducing atmosphere generated from a nitrogen-methanol panel.
During the qualification of the machine in Phase I of the project, a temperature survey of the furnace work chamber was performed using a nine point thermocouple uniformity test.
Improved temperature uniformity was the driving force behind new heat processing equipment. The new equipment provided dividends such as reduced labor costs, improved datalogging and reduced energy consumption.
