High-pressure gas quenching for low-distortion hardening processes
Aichelin vacuum gas quenching furnaces are designed to cool components uniformly and in a controlled manner after heat treatment. Precisely adjustable quenching parameters allow reproducible control of cooling rates, which is particularly beneficial for components with tight tolerances and high quality requirements.
Additional technical features
Integrated partial pressure control to prevent alloy evaporation in the range of 10⁻² mbar to 10⁻⁶ mbar
Energy-efficient cold-wall design
SCADA-based process control system with automatic documentation
Maintenance-friendly design with good accessibility
