Seco Warwick, Meadville, Pa., introduces its Super IQ integral quench furnace and UCM 4D Quench system.
The Super IQ (integral or sealed quench furnace), offers all of the benefits of low pressure carburizing and vacuum hardening, with none of the added costs. The system combines clean processing with the exceptional performance of oil quenching in the industry’s most innovative integral quench furnace design in decades. With a Super IQ, users get super clean parts while still getting the benefit of a simple atmosphere oil quench.
The UCM 4D Quench enables customers with gas quenchable materials to replace oil quenching with an environmentally friendly, cost-effective technology. It provides a solution that eliminates the need for press quenching systems and the problems associated with their operation. First, no more finishing treatment is needed to remove the oxidized layer. Second, it provides parts with higher surface quality and savings due to eliminating the need for heat treatment fixtures and material logistics. Third, it eliminates oil and oil vapor contamination, ensuring personnel safety and reduced environmental impact in addition to eliminating washers and chemicals.
