Article: Technology trends in vacuum heat treating: part three: new technologies and future developments.(FEATURE / Vacuum/Surface Treatment)

[FIGURE 2 OMITTED]

In this third and final installment, we will examine technological developments in vacuum heat treating and look to the future.

Many new technologies owe their success to vacuum processing. Examples include:

* Rotational compression brazing of aerospace rocket and military jet engines

* Titanium processing including beta annealing, slow cooling and age hardening (BASCA 160) of titanium alloys

* Vacuum carburizing/carbonitriding and high-pressure gas quenching of automotive powertrain components

* High-temperature sintering followed immediately by vacuum hardening for automotive transmission ...
