Vacuum & High Temperature / Optimizing Quality

We offer you systems for

• Vacuum sintering of metallic materials (e.g., hard metal) and ceramic materials (e.g. silicon carbide and silicon nitride)
• Hot-isostatic pressing
• Vacuum sintering with vacuum debinding and hydrogen debinding
• Sintering of tantalum and molybdenum
• Carburizing of metal/metal oxide powders to form metal carbides

High-performance systems for

• Vacuum brazing of vacuum interrupters, components for medical devices (e.g. rotating anodes for X-ray machines), instruments (pressure measurement probes, thermo-elements, sensors), diamond and hard metal tools, and ceramic components
• Vacuum brazing of heat exchangers, cooling plates, EGR coolers, and electron tubes and current leads
• Diffusion bonding of close-contour cooled forms, hot-runner manifolds for the plastic injection-molding industry, heat exchangers, machine parts and components for the aerospace industry, and power plant parts

High-temperature vacuum systems with graphitic heat use and integrated gas treatment for

• Degassing and cleaning, e.g., graphite components (reducing the ash content)
• Bright annealing and stress-relief annealing
• Recycling of contaminated graphite components (e.g., from epitaxy processes MOCVD)
• CVD coating of graphite with silicon carbide (SiC)
• Sintering
• Infiltration
• Vacuum and inert-gas brazing
