10- Bar Vacuum Heat Treating

10-Bar vacuum treating is a process where large die sections or large parts can be quenched at faster rates than a standard vacuum to achive the specified hardeness.

Process

10-Bar Vacuum heat treating is basically heat treating in an oxygen free environment followed by quenching with a gas such as nitrogen. 10-Bar refers to the quenching rate. This process can quench up to 10 times atmospheric pressure. Microprocessors control and monitor "recipe" cycles to ensure repeatable heating, soaking and quenching rates. These “recipes” are customized for your particular application to achieve the desired results. This technology enables precise targeting of specified microstructure, surface characteristics, cleanliness and mechanical properties. This precise temperature and environmental control prevents surface contamination and preserves surface chemistry, preventing scaling, oxidation and decarburization.
