The New "3Q" Vacuum Furnace
G-M is proud to announce its revolutionary new line of vacuum furnaces
designed for the most highly advanced metallurgical processing. The
"3Q" Vacuum furnace (patent pending) has a hot zone that moves
away from the load during the gas quench phase of processing.
This technological breakthrough by the engineering team at G-M is achieved
through positioning the hot zone over the load during the heating cycle
and then mechanically moving the entire hot zone to the rear of the
chamber away from the work load during gas quenching.
Another key to this innovative system is the inner baffle door which
lowers and isolates the load from the hot zone. The inner baffle
door closes only after the hot zone has moved to the rear of the
chamber. The baffle door means that the gas quench occurs in a cold
chamber.
Distinct processing advantages for the heat treater result from the
"3Q" vacuum furnace. These include:
A large gas cooling system with post cooler. The post cooler
provides lower gas temperatures for quench gas than any gas cooling system
offered in the market today. This improves the quenching operation.
. The hot zone is separated from the load being quenched and the high
velocity cooling gas nozzles. This means that there is less wear and
tear on the hot zone which results in lower maintenance costs and
down-time. . The stationary work load eliminates deformation associated
with the load moving in a conventional two chamber vacuum furnace.
Superior metallurgical results are obtained from the load being
quenched in a cold chamber which means that the results at a 6 bar quench
are as good as generally achieved over a 10 bar quench.
