Vacuum processes at THT

Vacuum processing is a highly accurate and repeatable method of heat treatment, ideal for a wide variety of applications from precision parts and special components to large tool and dies.

Pressure and direction of gas flow can be varied to suit the loading arrangements or workpieces to minimise distortion. Gas quench pressures up to 10bar can be achieved and temperatures up to 1250°c.

Methods of jigging and load distribution within the furnace are also controlled to ensure temperature uniformity and minimise distortion during process.

Graphite, ceramics and heat resistant steels are used as component support in the heat chamber.

We can advise the best process route for your material or application. We can work with your existing heat treatment specifications, submit your drawing or enquiry to us for a quote here.
