Seco/Warwick Retech, Meadville, Pa., introduces the Compact furnace, designed for hardening tool and other steels at gas pressures under 15 Bar. With a pumpdown time to operational vacuum of less than 15 minutes and tight uniformity, the Compact meets AMS 2750E, Class 2 requirements at a value price and short delivery time.
The furnace meets the requirements of NADCA, Ford, and GM heat treatment specifications. It has a pre-installed package of recipes for selecting heat treat parameters, depending on grade of steel and part geometry. A smart control system enables reduction of power consumption.
The furnace provides brazing, annealing, hardening, solution heat treating, sintering, and tempering. Controlled cooling, isoquench, interrupted quench, marquenching, and austempering are available.
The furnace treats metals such as tool steels, high-strength low-alloy steels, stainless steels, superalloys, and titanium alloys.
