For general heat treatment and bright annealing of ferrous mill-products and finished parts, both continuous furnaces and high-temperature vacuum furnaces are used. Vacuum hardening requires heating to high temperature followed by rapid cooling with gas flow (nitrogen, argon, helium) with pressures up to 20 bar.

Main  Fields of Application: 

• Annealing and hardening of tools and engineering parts
• Bright annealing of stainless steels (steel strip, small parts etc)

The PLANSEE Product Range:

• Development, design and production of complete hot zones for vacuum furnaces
• Exchange, re-building and upgrading of hot zones in existing vacuum furnaces (conversion of graphite to metallic hot zones)
• Heating elements, base plates and furnace boats for pusher furnaces
• Component manufacturing (heating elements, heat shields, charge racks and accessories)
• Spare parts and semi-finished products (sheets, wires, rods, fasteners)
