SECO/WARWICK Retech will exhibit at the 2016 Heat Treating Shanghai event taking place on 28 June through the 1 July at the Shanghai New International EXPO Center, Shanghai, China. UniCase Master® Revolutionary Single Flow, Precision Case Hardening System: SECO/WARWICK Retech will introduce three revolutionary products in heat treatment technology: the UniCase Master® for gear case hardening, the ZeroFlow® nitriding solution, and the newest addition to family of HPQ furnaces, the COMPACT™. The UniCase Master challenges conventional case hardening methods by revolutionizing the equipment and process for continuous heat treatment of gears. The process of carburizing and quenching of steel gears provides the surface hardened teeth and flexible core necessary for a long-lasting gear. Heat treating, especially the quenching process, produces distortion. Distortion is most often corrected by the costly process of post-heat treat machining. The goal of every high-volume gear heat treating process is the elimination or reduction of distortion. This system adjusts to the size and shape of the particular gear in order to minimize distortion and ensures ideal repeatability of results gear after gear. It is a compact system, designed for high-volume gear heat treating, designed for lean manufacturing configurations. ZeroFlow® Nitriding and FNC Lowers Consumption and Emission of Process Gases: The ZeroFlow method is based upon performing the nitriding process with the use of only a single-component atmosphere – raw ammonia (NH3). The adjustment of nitriding atmosphere chemical composition, and therefore the control of nitriding potential Np, is performed only by temporary stop and reactivation of NH feeding into the furnace. Experimental research has shown that the ZeroFlow method is characterized by much lower consumption and emission of gases, requires a simpler control system and allows for forming the layer phase structure with the same precision as in processes with double-component atmospheres. COMPACT™ Signature Quality, Value Priced: The COMPACT funace family was deisgned for hardening tool and other steels in gas pressures under 15 Bar. With a pump down time to operational vacuum in less than 15 minutes and tight uniformity, the COMPACT meets AMS 2750E, class 2 requirements at a value price with short delivery.
