Tamworth Heat Treatment have installed a new high vacuum, high temperature vacuum furnace at their site in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
The investment of some £350K is part of the continuous improvement activities at the company and demonstrates their commitment to keep pace with the changing demands of industry.
The new equipment compliments the existing eight vacuum furnaces and with the high vacuum capability, along with the availability of Nitrogen and Argon as process gases , it provides a facility for the treatment of stainless steels, super alloys and Titanium along with the potential to develop high temperature brazing.
Using PC supervisory and SCADA based control systems ensures a high degree of temperature uniformity is achieved and satisfies the AMS 2750 Specification requirements for thermal processing equipment.
The equipment was made in the Midlands by Vacuum Furnace Engineering and shows the commitment of Tamworth Heat Treatment to midlands engineering and the provision of a modern up to date processing facility for our customers throughout the Uk and Ireland.
