Vacuum heat treatment testing at industrial scale

Aichelin supports customers in developing, validating and optimizing vacuum heat treatment processes – from initial feasibility studies to production-relevant trials.

Our test facilities cover vacuum gas quenching, low pressure carburizing (LPC), vacuum tempering, controlled nitriding and nitrocarburizing, as well as oxidation processes. With industrial-scale furnace equipment, we can test components and batches under realistic conditions, including charge weights of up to 3,500 kg.
