Vacuum or Gas Quenching and Tempering with Quantum G
Quantum G Series Vacuum Furnaces
Quantum Vacuum and Gas Quenching and Tempering
Vacuum and gas quenching and tempering are heat treatment processes for materials designed to improve their mechanical and physical properties, such as hardness, strength, and wear resistance. Quantum G technology offers advanced solutions for these processes, based on controlled vacuum or gas atmosphere conditions.
Vacuum hardening
Vacuum hardening involves heating materials to the austenitizing temperature in a vacuum atmosphere and then rapidly cooling them (e.g., with a stream of inert gas) to achieve the desired hardness and microstructure.

Vacuum hardening process:
Creating a vacuum
Heating
Cooling
- No oxidation or scale formation on the material's surface.
- High machining consistency thanks to precise control of parameters.
- The ability to harden complex geometries.
- Minimizing thermal stresses.
- Cutting and forming tools.
- Aviation and aerospace components.
- Precision machine components (e.g., shafts, gears).
- Gas quenching (e.g., in nitrogen)
- Gas quenching is an alternative to traditional oil quenching, in which high-pressure gas serves as the cooling medium. This process is particularly useful for steels with higher hardenability.
Quantum G is a series of vacuum furnaces designed for use in harsh industrial environments with a load of up to 96% of operating time

Tempering is the process of heating a material after hardening to a temperature ranging from 150 to 700°C, depending on the required mechanical properties. Its purpose is to reduce brittleness and impart the required strength and ductility to the material.
How does vacuum tempering work?
Vacuum Process
The process takes place in a vacuum furnace, eliminating the risk of surface oxidation.
Temperature Control
The process is strictly controlled, which ensures consistent mechanical properties.
Uses of Gas
After tempering, cooling in an inert gas atmosphere is possible.
