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.
