Vacuum Heat Treatment (VHT) and Vacuum Brazing (VB) Furnaces

Consarc offers a variety of Vacuum Heat Treatment (VHT) and Vacuum Brazing (VB) furnaces that feature graphite, metallic or composite hot zones for a wide variety of heat treat and brazing applications.

Product Details

Overview

Vacuum heat treatment and brazing are well-established practices in the aerospace, land-based turbines, automotive and tool industries. Controlled thermal processing of components is carried out in a vacuum environment to eliminate the adverse effects of the charge reacting with the gases present in air. The main advantages of this process are bright oxide-free finishes with no carburization or decarburization, controlled heating and repeatability without hazardous fumes or toxic waste. Consarc® vacuum furnaces are also widely found in general heat treatment applications such as bright annealing, stress relieving, tempering and vacuum brazing.

Features

Graphite or metallic hot zones, with graphite being the heat treaters’ preferred option for most processes due to its longer life, lower replacement cost and reduced power consumption. Composite hot zone constructions utilizing metallic, graphite and/or ceramic fiber materials are also available to meet specific customer requirements
Heater control typically by thermocouple up to 3200^oF (1800^oC) and optical pyrometer to over 4000^oF (2200^oC)
Compliant with NADCAP® and AMS2750 requirements if required
Medium or high vacuum pumping systems to suit the process and application
Gas quench systems are available to meet process requirements ranging from fan assisted cooling to rapid, uniformly controlled multi-flow and high-pressure quenching operations up to 4500 torr (6 bar, 6×10⁵Pa)
Manual or automated gas flow control systems can be provided to suit the process and application
Optional fan assisted convection heating systems are offered for operation in the temperature range up to 1400^oF (750^oC) where heat transfer by radiation is less effective, particularly with densely packed loads. These systems allow faster heating rates and improved temperature uniformity at low temperature leading to greater furnace efficiency in operations such as tempering
Fully integrated and automated loading systems are provided with larger furnace systems
The experience and installations of Consarc are extensive. Consarc Group has supplied numerous furnaces including customized systems for unique applications
Consarc includes state of the art controls with PLC and PC SCADA, providing completely automated control of the heat treatment furnace. All data is stored and trended on the PC for analysis and quality control. Remote access enables real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and support when needed
Consarc can supply a complete furnace system including all interconnecting services, water lines, air lines, gas lines and electrical cables
Consarc® vacuum heat treatment furnace systems are assembled and functionally tested prior to shipment ensuring a quick and trouble-free installation on site
