Polymer Company Commits to New Vacuum Furnace
The vacuum furnace on order will be used to carry out advanced vacuum hardening processes for tools, dies and rolls. The partner will process tool steels with high thermal requirements, such as H13, H11 and D2. Until now, technological capabilities were limited by a locally manufactured furnace with a cooling pressure of up to 4 bar, which did not allow for effective processing of components requiring high-pressure gas hardening. Increasing production loads and customer requirements, including one of the key partners, prompted Bhuj Polymers to invest in next-generation vacuum technology.
