Vac Aero International Inc., Burlington, Ontario, recently commissioned a horizontal vacuum furnace at a major South Korean university metallurgical research center. The VAH5058 HV-8 furnace chamber is 36 x 36 x 58 in. long. It has a hot zone comprised of high-efficiency graphite felt, carbon composite, and curved graphite elements. It is equipped with a gas quench system capable of quickly cooling the workload from processing temperatures, at quench pressures of up to eight bar.
The furnace operating system is based on Vac Aero’s versatile HC900 interactive hybrid control package with SCADA and complete network integration capabilities and remote monitoring and control.
