The key developmental directions for vacuum furnaces are the cutting edge ecologi- cal and thermo-chemical technologies behind vacuum carburizing and nitriding (LPC, LPN) and high performance gas hardening systems (HPGQ). SECO/WARWICK off ers two unique low vacuum carburizing technologies FineCarb® and high temperature carburizing PreNitLPC®. Standard – radial type heating Together with our SimVac simulation program, and dynamic quenching SECO/WARWICK technologies provide precise and effi cient carburizing that is faster and more cost eff ective. Developments in gas high pres- sure quench furnace (HPGQ) technology, which is close to that of oil quenching, enable an ever wider range of steels and larger production loads to be hardened eff ectively.
