Quakertown, PA - Vacu Braze, a leading provider of precision heat treating, recently purchased and installed a new large-capacity nitriding furnace, significantly expanding the company's capabilities for gas nitriding, ferritic nitrocarburizing, and heat treatment of large components.

The new furnace features a working chamber of 48” in diameter and 108” in depth, more than doubling the company’s current processing volume. The increased capacity allows Vacu Braze to process significantly larger parts and higher volumes while maintaining aerospace quality process control. 

The system is designed to meet the requirements of AMS 2759/6, enabling Vacu Braze to support demanding aerospace nitriding applications that require strict control of compound layer formation, case depth, and process uniformity. 

In addition to conventional gas nitriding, the new furnace is capable of ferritic nitrocarburizing, providing customers with an additional surface engineering option that improves wear resistance, fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance in many alloy steels. 

The system is also equipped with advanced pyrometry and temperature uniformity controls. These advanced features ensure compliance with AMS 2750, enabling reliable processing for critical applications.
