Description

Unlike conventional quenching in gas-fired or salt bath furnaces, vacuum hardening employs a high-vacuum atmosphere combined with high-pressure inert gas cooling (commonly N₂, Ar, or He) as a substitute for oil or salt quenching media.

Applications

Vacuum hardening technology is widely applied in:

• Tool steels: Cutting knives, stamping dies, plastic injection molds, precision measuring tools, drill bits, turning tools, and milling cutters.
  

• Stainless steels and high-alloy steels: Precision mechanical components, aerospace parts, medical devices (surgical knives, surgical instruments), and electronic components.
  

• Automotive industry: Gears, shafts, bearings, and high-load components requiring clean surfaces and high dimensional accuracy.
  

• Energy sector: Turbine components, heat-resistant parts, and oxidation-resistant components.

Thanks to its advantages of bright surface finish, minimal distortion, and environmental friendliness, vacuum hardening has become a standard advanced heat treatment technology in modern industrial manufacturing.
