Seco-Warwick Europe, Poland, announces that it will supply a FineCarb LPC vacuum furnace with 25 bar high pressure gas quench, and two vacuum aluminum braze furnaces to Heat Treat Australia for aerospace applications. To complete the heat treat cell, Seco-Warwick Europe will supply two nitrogen/air tempering furnaces. The 25 Bar HPQ and one vacuum brazing system will be shipped to its facility in Brisbane, and the second vacuum brazing system will be located in its new facility in Los Angeles.
According the Heat Treatment Australia President Norm Tucker, “I purchased the first furnace from seco-Warwick, a 15 Bar, in 2007 and was impressed with the quality of the equipment and the support we received. When we decided to expand our operations both in Australia and open our new facility in Los Angeles, the company had the right combination of quality, service and new technology.”
The two 2.0VP-4045/48HVS type furnaces will be designed for the vacuum aluminum brazing process. The furnaces are equipped with a stainless heating chamber and six temperature control zones to guarantee temperature uniformity within +/-3°C as required by AMS2750E class 1. Both furnaces will be equipped with a diffusion pump and a working zone that can accommodate loads with dimensions up to 36 inches wide, 28 inches high, and 48 inches long.
The 25.0VPT-4035/36NIQ, a 25 bar VPT-series furnace, will be equipped with convection heating, low pressure carburizing, and the ability for high pressure gas quenching with argon and nitrogen at pressures up to 25 bar. The furnace will meet AMS2750E Class 2 requirements with instrumentation type A. It will be used to heat treat aerospace parts at Brisbane facility.
