EXPERIENCE THE HUDAPACK DIFFERENCE

Vacuum Heat Treating Process

Hudapack’s capabilities in vacuum processing include stainless steel solution annealing, precipitation hardening, homogenizing of cast structures, normalizing, aging and tempering. We also support tool steel and high-speed steel hardening. Vacuum processing prevents scaling or decarburizing of the work surface with either nitrogen or argon gas quench.

WHY VACUUM PROCESSING?

Vacuum heat treat processing can vary covering a wide array of processes. One great advantage is the higher temperatures in which you can use for processing (up to 2400˚F) and controlling it. Operating under a vacuum (no oxygen is coming into contact with the surface of the material) will not form a decarburization layer on the surface. Quenching using an inert gas Argon or Nitrogen displaces any oxygen and keeps the surface of the parts bright. This includes:

HARDENING OF:

  • Tool Steels
  • Large Dies
  • PH Stainless Steels
  • Brazing

THERMAL PROCESSING:

  • Tempering
  • Annealing
  • Stress Relieving
  • Normalizing
  • Solution Annealing of Stainless Steel
  • Condition A of PH Stainless Steels
