AICHELIN ST Vacuum GmbH, a subsidiary of the AICHELIN Group, has successfully delivered a high-precision vacuum furnace to an internationally leading specialist for heat treatment in the aerospace industry, located in Finland.
The system was specifically designed to meet the particularly stringent requirements of this sector and, with a hot zone of 900 x 1200 x 900 mm, offers maximum flexibility for a wide variety of component geometries.
The vacuum furnace is equipped with high-grade insulation made from molybdenum and stainless steel, as well as a multi-zone heating control system that ensures outstanding temperature uniformity.
Additional technical highlights:
A special feature of the furnace is its dual gas supply system with independent lines and valves for nitrogen and argon. This setup enables the highest level of process control and fully complies with industry-specific requirements, where argon is often mandatory as a quenching gas.
The separate gas supply ensures reproducible, stable, and highly precise quenching operations – guaranteeing consistently high quality of treated components.
With this delivery, AICHELIN ST Vacuum GmbH – as part of the globally active AICHELIN Group – reinforces its role in the development and production of customized heat treatment solutions for high-tech industries, sending a clear signal for innovation, precision, and reliability.
