Seco/Vacuum, Meadville, Pa., has sold two new Vector single chamber high-pressure quench vacuum to the Australian defense industry through HTA. These will go to the Melbourne and Sydney commercial heat treatment facilities to provide expanded processing capabilities.
The equipment will provide heat treatment processes for HTA’s manufacturing customers in the region to meet defense customer and quality specifications. The project was developed in response to customer demand and market analysis identifying gaps in Australia’s advanced manufacturing industrial framework.
Dr Karen Stanton, director, corporate and strategy at HTA said, “HTA is the only Australian NADCAP approved thermal processor and has had ongoing success with commercial and aerospace operations to date. Increasing the footprint of heat treatment assets through the establishment of this capability in Melbourne and Sydney will increase the ability of defense component manufacturers to deliver projects faster and allow them direct access to a qualified local supply chain.”
