The purpose of this paper is to explain reactions that can occur during a vacuum processing cycle and different methods of preventing these reactions.
For all the advances, titanium and its many alloys, has not reached its apex in popularity in the world. Is there any other element that calls to mind the notion of strength quite like titanium?
This preliminary study revealed that the partial pressure of nitrogen when gas nitriding Ti-6Al-4V in a vacuum furnace can have a significant effect on the nitrided case characteristics.
In this article, we will highlight some of the essential design requirements needed to provide the proper all-metal furnace for these critical applications.
Basic vacuum practices, a primer and basic introduction for vacuum technicians
Vacuum heat treating is a crucial step in the additive manufacturing process cycle to meet required part quality specifications.
A presentation by Solar's Don Jordan given at the ASM's Heat Treat 2015 trade show about reducing alpha case on titanium parts when heat treating in a vacuum furnace.
