10-bar gas quench and vacuum oil quench
Explore our 10-bar gas quenching and vacuum oil quenching processes. Advanced heat treatment methods that guarantee optimum metallurgical structure and minimize surface alterations. These techniques, performed under vacuum, are essential for obtaining parts with precise mechanical properties that meet your requirements, and with impeccable cleanliness.
The advantages of this hardening treatment
Gas quenching at 10 bar or oil quenching offers effective solutions for improving metal hardness and strength without compromising surface quality. Thanks to the use of vacuum chambers, these processes eliminate the risks of oxidation, decarburization or overcarburization often associated with high-temperature treatments. Precise control of austenitizing temperature and rapid cooling help to achieve the desired uniformity, ensuring optimum hardness, toughness and impact strength characteristics. What's more,full processautomation guarantees high reproducibility and reliability of treatment results.
The choice between vacuum gas quenching and vacuum oil quenching depends on the steels' hardenability.
Industrial quenching applications
These technologies are particularly well suited to parts requiring very high precision metallurgical properties, such as mold tools, punches, dies and cutting tools.
They are widely used in demanding sectors such asaeronautics, armaments and precision mechanics. The ability of these treatments to handle safety-critical parts, whether unitary or mass-produced, makes them preferred options for applications where rigorous control of parameters is crucial.
