Key benefits of gas quenching at 20 bar
The 20-bar gas quenching process offers significant advantages over other (traditional) quenching methods. Using a controlled vacuum environment and inert gases at high pressure, this technique prevents oxidation and decarburization, thus preserving the integrity of the metal surface. Precise control of austenitizing temperatures and rapid cooling rates, tailored to steels and component geometries, ensures uniform hardness and structural martensitic transformation. This method not only improves the wear resistance of treated parts, but also significantly reduces cleaning and post-treatment costs, thanks to the elimination of oil quenching residues.
Possible industrial applications
Ideal for components requiring high cleanliness and precise mechanical properties, gas quenching at 20 bar is widely used in industries such asaerospace,automotive and precisionengineering. The treatment is particularly effective for parts such as gears, bearings and surgical tools, where exact tolerances and mechanical strength are crucial.
The fully automated system guarantees consistent results for every batch, with each cycle meticulously monitored and adjusted for temperature, pressure and gas composition, offering unrivalled reproducibility and reliability.
