Description

The Sintervac® product line services a variety of robust manufacturing requirements with delicate process control needs. Tungsten and Cemented carbides, performance and structural ceramics, cermets and high alloy steels rpresent a few. There are over 600 Sintervacs® in field service throughout the world today. CVI is the world leader for carbide and structural ceramic applications.

SINTERVAC® JR.
The Sintervac® Jr. furnace processes small test batches of parts through complete sinter cycles, including delube, under operating condtions identical to production size Sintervac® furnaces. Designed for both development and quality assurance tasks, a typical furnace cycle takes less than four hours. Two temperature ranges are available: range A, 1600°C max. for steels and tungsten carbide and range C, 2200°C max. for non-oxide ceramics. Optional eqipment can be selected for automatic temperature control, remote programming, repeated delube cycles, and control of various process parameters.

Applications

Delube/Dewax
CVI has specialized in process development for a variety of delube/dewax processes for carbides and ceramics. CVI process development encompasses a large effort for wax/polymer removal typical of injection molded hard metals and ceramics. Tight pressure and gas flow control in tandem with effective event based programming and sound retort design allows the entire load to view the same series of conditions as a function of time. This results in consistent downstream microstructures and repeatable carbon control. Depending upon the process reqirements, a variety of wax and polymer condensation strategies have been utilized including vacuum delube condensation, Sweepgas℡ condensation and CVI's proprietary BRS™ technology.
