Aerospace Heat Treating Continues to Boom
While heat treating around the world tends to be in the doldrums these days-not great/not terrible Aerospace continues to be a bright spot as is witnessed by yet another furnace order for the aerospace industry;
The furnace is designed for tempering, ageing, and other sub-critical heat-treat processes. It will operate up to 1380 °F (750 °C), with a 24” × 24” × 36” (600 × 600 × 900 mm) work zone and a 1,750-lb (~800 kg) load capacity. It meets AMS2750F Class 2 TUS requirements (±10 °F – ±5,6°C) and supports nitrogen convection heating and cooling. Final cooling is handled by an internal recirculation blower and a water-cooled heat exchanger, ensuring stable, efficient cycle performance.
This additional unit adds to the customer’s existing SECO/WARWICK equipment installed across multiple facilities, which includes multi-chamber CaseMaster Evolution furnaces (double- and triple-chamber models) and a Vector single-chamber high-pressure gas-quench vacuum furnace.
