Gas Carburizing Furnace Solutions

Sealed quench furnaces, continuous carburizing furnaces and pit furnaces provide three of the most popular methods for treating low carbon and alloy steels to improve the surface hardness and surface durability of steel-alloy components.

A group of processes are carried out, each of which brings specific benefits to the finished part.
