U) QUENCH® Vacuum system for individual hardening with distortion control

APPLICATION:INDUSTRIES:MATERIALS: H Traditionally oil quenched steels for post carburizing or through hardening applications H Bright hardening (High Pressure Gas Quench) with distortion reduction and control. Alternative to press quenching. UNICASE MASTER® U) QUENCH® A vacuum system for single-piece nitrogen quenching with distortion control as an attractive alternative to a press quenchning UCM 4D Quench® - is a vacuum heat treatment solution for individual quenching of component parts such as gears, shafts, bearing races, rings, selves, etc. made of standard or custom case and through...

Parts are heated up to hardening temperature in the heating chamber under vacuum, which protects the part's surface against contamination and unexpected composition changes. The quenching process provides unique and significant improvements related to the reduction of distortion. This is done primarily using a high-pressure gas quenching system installed in the quenching/unloading chamber. The system utilizes a proprietary arrangement of cooling nozzles that surround the part to ensure a uniform flow of cooling gas from all sizes, as well as the top and bottom. This is referred to as "3D"...
