Vacuum Carburizing
Available from Solar Atmospheres, Inc.
Solar Atmospheres specializes in Low Pressure Vacuum Carburizing, which is a heat treat process that supplies additional carbon to the surface of the steel. Performed in a vacuum furnace, the vacuum carburizing process is designed to achieve optimum case hardening properties for various alloy materials. The benefits of LPVC over traditional carburizing processes are case depth uniformity, maximum case integrity, and improved gear root to pitch case depth ratios, deep blind-hole vacuum carburizing, minimal distortion, and bright clean parts.
