VACUUM HARDENING  
Hardening in the vacuum furnace is ideal for mould components, all tools, and precision components highly susceptible to distortion. The workpieces are quenched in a stream of nitrogen pressurised to 20 bar. The workpieces do not oxidise in vacuum, so their surfaces are metallically clean.
   
At all of its sites Härterei Reese uses process-controlled vacuum furnaces featuring highly precise temperature control, and therefore ideal for hardening low-alloy steels. The users include renowned tool makers and automotive part suppliers.
