Seco Vacuum, Meadville, Pa., announces an order for a high-volume nitrocarburizing line of furnaces serving a major carmaker through a tier-one supplier.
The furnaces will allow the customer to produce, in North America, a significant number of parts used by automotive suppliers, and will be integral to a larger investment in the firm’s component manufacturing operations. In addition to ferritic nitrocarburizing, the furnaces can also provide clean, stress relief processing.
“Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a form of gas nitriding, and Seco Vacuum offers many standard sizes and options suitable for both small commercial heat treaters and large automotive suppliers,” said Piotr Zawistowski, Managing Director. FNC is gaining popularity due to the resulting wear and anti-corrosion properties offered, including coupling with post-process high-temperature oxidation.
