Parts quality

Better metallurgical results, enhanced mechanical properties , perfect distortion control : ECM innovations and R&D works have revealed the many ways vacuum heat treatments and gas quenching can improve parts quality. And the results are measurable in our ICBP® equipments!

Metallurgical

With ECM low-pressure carburizing solutions, you first get rid of oxidation, as heat treatment is performed under vacuum. In addition, case depth can be precisely controlled, and results have proven to be extremely uniform on batches of parts... More    

Mechanical properties

When fatigue strength or impact matters, as to increase torque on gearboxes, ECM processes can make the difference.  On our systems, low-pressure carbonitriding® as well as fine-tuned gas quenching lead to mechanical properties improvement... More
   

Distortions

Heat treatment doesn't mean parts will not meet dimensional tolerances. ECM processes, more specifically gas quenching, enable precise control of parts deformation, with very uniform results, from part to part and from load and load... More
