Seco/Warwick to deliver custom vacuum furnace to global MIM supplier for aerospace components
Seco/Warwick Group has announced it will deliver a Vector vacuum furnace to a global supplier of metal injection moulded products. This is Seco/Warwick’s second collaboration with the MIM maker, who plans to use the new furnace to produce components for the aviation industry.
The Vector furnace is expected to increase capacity to provide hardening process services, while meeting all aviation standards required by the industry. Material heating processes require high purity, explains Seco/Warwick, which is why the 1200˚C furnace uses an additional argon hydrogen partial pressure system.
