Vacuum Heat Treat Furnace Technology
The Vacuum Team offers vacuum heat treating furnaces for a wide variety of processes. We build some of the largest and most technically advanced vacuum furnaces in operation, developing advanced technologies like gas or high pressure quench, vacuum pre-nitriding and low pressure (LPC) vacuum carburizing. Our vacuum furnaces are designed to provide the flexibility, purity and process control necessary to meet exacting and diverse requirements. We build vacuum furnaces for hardening, tempering, annealing, brazing, sintering carburizing, carbon/carbon composites, graphitizing and degassing. Retech Systems LLC provides vacuum metallurgical equipment including induction (VIM), arc (VAR), electron beam (EB) and plasma (PAM) furnaces - dedicated for melting and refining processes of specialty metals.

High Pressure Quench (HPQ) |
SECO/WARWICK offers HPQ furnaces up to 25 Bar He or 15 Bar N2. These furnaces meet AMS2750D and AMS2769 standards as well as European and US safety requirements. |
| LPC Vacuum Carburizing | SECO/WARWICK is a pioneer in the development and commercialization of Vacuum Furnaces equipped with Low Pressure Vacuum Carburizing. Click here for our product brochure Steels for Vacuum Carburizing and Structure of the Carburizing Layer after Low Pressure Carburizing is a discussion of the application of low pressure carburizing technology for hardening steel in metallurgical terms. |
| FineCarb Process Controls | The Controls: FineCarb™ Control System provides precision process control automatically reducing process time Short Description - Click here | Technical Paper - Click here |
Pre-nitriding LPC PreNitLPC® |
PreNitLPC is a technology advancement for low pressure vacuum carburizing with pre-nitriding which significantly reduces carburizing cycle time, improving productivity while producing work with superior metallurgical results. |
| Simulation Software | SimVac™ Carburizing Simulation Software works with FineCarb process software as a professional tool to design vacuum carburizing process cycles: Users save time and reduce process errors by simulating steel carburizing process cycles prior running actual trials.

Multi-application |
SECO/WARWICK is introducing a new line of equipment, the CaseMaster Evolution® universal batch furnace for low pressure carburizing equipped with an oil quench. These systems provide a technically advanced alternative to traditional integral quench furnace systems for many applications including:
This single system is capable of performing low pressure carburizing (FineCarb® LPC), LPC with pre-nitriding (PreNitLPC®), bright hardening (oxidation in preheat chamber), annealing and tempering. |
Vacuum Brazing |
Successful vacuum brazing relies on using the proper techniques, correct materials and furnace capabilities to continuously control the brazing cycle. More than 90% of all brazing problems reportedly are a result of not paying close attention to basic brazing fundamentals. This article was originally published in Heat Treating Progress: |

This article describes the process of manufacturing PM parts as applied in the Metal Forming Institute in conjunction with SECO/WARWICK S. A., Sweibodzin, Poland. The authors compare the effect of different sintering methods on the microstructure and hardness of three sample parts. This article was published in the International Powder Metallurgy Directory.

Vacuum Heat Treatment of H-13 Die Steel |
Importance of Precision Cooling during Vacuum Heat Treatment of Hot Work Tool Steel Heat treating finished tools made of chromium hot-work steels such as H13 (containing nominally 5% Cr and significant amounts of other alloys), particularly large ones, requires experience and a clear understanding of the phase changes and associated stresses occurring during the heating and cooling of the part.
