The use of vacuum technology for carburizing has always shown the most potential for improving the manufacturing process by reducing both processing time and the number of manufacturing steps required to produce a part.

Gears perform the critical functions of transmitting power or carrying motion in mechanical assemblies.

Today, BNA is a trusted nondestructive method for stress analysis, material characterization and the detection of heat-treatment and other thermally induced material defects.

At the Center for Heat Treating Excellence (CHTE) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts, researchers are perfecting carbon-concentration profile predictions through enhancements to CarbTool©, its simulation software.

I recently helped a client reverse engineer some carburized machine parts that had an excessive lead time from the OEM.
