SECO/VACUUM, a SECO/WARWICK Group company, was awarded the order for the 2-bar Vector®, a single chamber high-pressure quench vacuum furnace. It will be used for a variety of heat treating processes, including hardening of tool steels as well as high vacuum sintering and annealing. The furnace design will achieve deep vacuum levels, allowing the customer to process materials for nuclear applications. The new Vector will replace an older furnace, adding significantly more capabilities and process flexibility.

"I’m very proud of how our SECO/VISORY group managed this relationship," noted Peter Zawistowski, managing director of SECO/VACUUM. "Our product management and engineering staff collaborated with the customer’s engineering and commercialization teams for over a year to develop a proposal for the specialized capabilities they required."
