As a world leader in vacuum oil quenching of large aerospace components, VAC AERO is preparing for increases in commercial aircraft production that are forecast over the next few years. Despite the fact that production for portions of these programs continues to move offshore, VAC AERO expects to be installing additional vacuum oil quench capacity to support forecast increases in demand in North America. Indeed, some of the new large aircraft programs will require some of the biggest vacuum oil quench furnaces ever constructed by VAC AERO.

What are the advantages of the Dayton Process compared to other fluoride ion cleaning processes?
There are many. The Dayton Process BV is the only FIC process that uses Teflon as a source of the fluoride ion. This is much safer to handle than the gaseous hydrogen fluoride used in other systems. Gaseous systems must usually be installed in enclosed rooms to minimize the risk of an HF leak and […]
How long should a vacuum furnace hot zone last?
Hot zone life depends on several factors including type of construction, type of use (ie. heat treating versus brazing), cleanliness of the load being processed and maintenance. In general heat treating applications, a properly maintained hot zone should last 5 to 7 years. Once worn out, it can sometimes be rebuilt rather than replaced. VAC […]
What is the HVOF process?
HVOF stands for high velocity oxygen fuelled and is a type of thermal spray process used to apply very dense coatings in a wide variety of materials. Coatings applied by HVOF usually have better mechanical properties than those applied by air plasma spray. The HVOF process is now widely used to apply WC-Co coatings as […]
