Vacuum Heat Treat Minute
Listen to leaders in the thermal-processing industry discuss important issues related to vacuum heat treatment.
In the final installment of this three-part series, Bill Jones expresses his vision for the future of hot-zone designs and other considerations in the advancement of vacuum furnace technology.
This podcast is part 2 of 2 and explores the basics of vacuum leak-rate testing. We will briefly discuss why it is important to perform a leak test, what methods are used to perform a leak test and where one should start.
This podcast is a general discussion about how vacuum pressure is measured and how vacuum leak rates and rate of rise testing are monitored in vacuum furnaces.
This installment will introduce the subject of eutectics and how to avoid these undesired metallurgic reactions when they are not intended during vacuum heat treatment.
This installment discussion will introduce the SolarVac Polaris, a leap forward in advanced vacuum furnace controls. We will explore the unique advantages developed in our new and improved furnace control systems.
This installment introduces Halo, a new advancement in hot zone designs. Halo is a ringless hot zone utilizing HEFVAC, a new high-performance graphite board material for improved thermal efficiency. The superior mechanical strength of HEFVAC allowed a self-supporting polygon structure. We explore why we pursued this design concept and discuss its advantages.
This discussion will review the essential issues related to servicing vacuum pumps and common problems encountered by users. It will also look at some of the best maintenance practices to keep your vacuum pumps running day after day without unplanned downtime.
