Vacuum Heat Treating

Vacuum furnace heat treating is a process used to heat metals to very high temperatures in order to perform processes such as: annealing with a high level of consistency and low contamination. In a vacuum furnace, the absence of air or other gases prevents heat transfer with the product through convection while also removing possible sources of contamination.

Magnum Metal Treating has 2 vacuum furnaces for processing parts with Nitrogen/Hydrogen partial pressures and Nitrogen or Argon quenching. Our vacuum furnaces are certified to API 6A 20^th Edition.

The maximum part size we can vacuum heat treat is 48" wide x 72" long x 60" high. Our maximum weight is 3,000 pounds each. Our maximum operating temperatures is 2200° F.

Some of the specific vacuum heat treating services we offer include:

* Annealing
* Gas quench and tempering
* Solution annealing
* Precipitation hardening
* Vacuum tempering
