Gas furnace 4D Quench®

chamberfor the aerospace industrycontinuous

is a vacuum heat treatment system solution for individual quenching of component parts such as gears, shafts, bearing races, rings, selves, etc. made of standard or custom case and through hardening steels. The system operates under nitrogen. It provides excellent distortion control and notably increases precision and repeatability of heat treatment while reducing unit and overall production costs. / It notably increases precision and repeatability of heat treatment results and reduces production costs / It provides vacuum heating following by powerful and uniform nitrogen quenching resulting in distortion control & reduction with high repeatability of final results. / The system is fully automated and easily integrated with in-line production. / It’s a modern and attractive alternative to hardening in a press, eliminating all its disadvantages. 4D Quench® is dedicated to these who wants to significantly increase production quality and economy of mechanical transmission components compared to batches or continuous heat treatment systems as well as to eliminate press quenching, press hardening, and their disadvantages.. The system consists of a vacuum heating chamber and a high pressure nitrogen quench chamber equipped with transportation mechanisms. Parts are heated up to hardening temperature in the heating chamber under vacuum, which protects the part’s surface against oxidation or other unwanted metallurgical changes. The quenching process provides unique and significant improvements related to the reduction of distortion. This is done primarily using a high-pressure gas quenching system installed in the quenching/unloading chamber.
