Low-Pressure Carburising Systems: A Review of Current Technology

From Edwards Vacuum
 

 

Although the great majority of carburising is still carried out at atmospheric pressure, recent developments in vacuum furnaces and steel technology have meant that carburising can now be carried out in a more environmentally friendly way under low pressure. The range of material types being carburised under vacuum is increasing with a strongly upward trend towards vacuum carburising evident in many areas.
