Vacuum Furnaces
Furnace Engineering supplies the Ipsen USA range of Vacuum Furnaces for a huge variety of heat treatment processes.
Ipsen USA is an acknowledged leader in the manufacture of vacuum heat treatment furnaces. Ipsen furnaces typically feature very high pressure quench and pressurised convective heating under atmosphere.
Applications are:
- Bright hardening, annealing or tempering heat treatments
- Vacuum brazing
- Used for varous grades fo steel, stainelss steeel and titanium.
Key features:
- Optimum hardness
- Bright surface
- Surface free from oxidation and decarburisation
- Low distortion (for complex geometries)
- Consistency & high quality
- Reproducibility
- Suitable for a wide variety of materials
- Low energy usage
Different types of horizontal, vertical, single or multi-chamber furnaces are available.
Ipsen's convective heating system typically reduces heating time by 30% (for convective heat transfer up to 850°C) and shortens subsequent tempering cycles by up to 50%. Further, atmosphere gas consumption is reduced as quenching gas is used as convective heat transfer medium during tempering.
