A plant is expanding its heat treatment capacities with a dual-chamber vacuum furnace equipped with an oil quenching system and an advanced vacuum carburizing system.
The new device for Bodycote, a heat treater with U.S. locations, is for their Siechnice, Poland location. The furnace will expand its range of services and will be provided by SECO/WARWICK, a furnace provider with locations in North America.

“These multi-chamber furnaces combine heat treatment in a vacuum with traditional oil quenching in dual- or triple-chamber configurations, enabling high efficiency, and delivering clean, oxide-free (IGO) parts. The Bodycote Group is a key partner for us, thanks to our shared commitment to advanced heat treatment technology,” said Maciej Korecki, vice president of the Vacuum Segment Group at SECO/WARWICK.

“The dual-chamber [furnace] was the correct choice to meet the requirements for implementing sustainable development strategies and reducing CO₂ emissions. The new furnace will allow us to conduct cleaner carburizing processes without an endothermic atmosphere,” said Dariusz Podgórski, vice president of Bodycote Polska Sp. z o.o.
The features of the furnace include an oil quenching system ensuring fast and uniform cooling of the charge, as well as the FineCarb vacuum carburizing system, which allows for precise control of process results.
