Vacuum Heat Treating As vacuum heat treating specialists, Solar Atmospheres can help determine the right process and cycle to meet or exceed your metallurgical requirements. Through precise temperature and environmental controls metal parts attain their required specifications with minimal distortion and bright, scale-free results.
Solar’s extensive and flexible capability includes over 40 vacuum furnaces ranging from lab size to the world’s largest commercial vacuum furnace (36 feet, 100,000 lb. capacity). One of the largest providers of vacuum heat treating services in the nation, Solar provides unique capabilities, consistent quality and responsive service for the Metal Processing Advantage.
Vacuum Carburizing Solar Atmospheres offers vacuum carburizing for optimum case hardening. The benefits are wear resistant part surfaces, case depth uniformity, minimal distortion and bright, clean parts. Vacuum carburizing prevents microstructure intergranular oxidation (IGO) and decarburization. The avoidance of IGO privides high integrity for the case.
Sintering High temperature (3600°F, 4000°C) batch sintering for P/M and MIM parts to achieve optimum mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. With correct particle size distribution, sintered parts can approach full density. Solar is able to maintain sintering temperatures within a window of 5°F.
