The supplier, SECO/VACUUM Technologies (SVT), says their gas retort nitriding furnaces use uniform high convection heating, precision nitriding potential, and ammonia control along with vacuum purging to reduce operating costs and process a variety of metals. Processes possible with retort technology include gas nitriding, ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC), post oxidation, tempering, age hardening, and stress relieving.

“I believe our team is one of the most adaptable and technically sound groups of experts in the thermal processing industry,” commented Piotr Zawistowski, managing director at SVT. He also notes that a consultative approach benefits both parties, especially in types of situations where an unfamiliar process is being adopted.
