Vacuum furnace for low pressure carburizing
ALLCARB® B.M.I. Fours Industriels

Carburizing is a thermochemical treatment aimed at hardening steels by adding carbon and increasing surface hardness. Low-pressure carburizing nowadays is an efficient alternative to conventional carburising / carburation techniques, notably bringing about noticeable improvements in homogeneity, penetration and a total absence of intergranular oxidation.

BMI optionally offers the ALLCARB® process for its entire range of high-temperature furnaces (vacuum annealing, vacuum gas quenching and vacuum oil quenching). This technique has been in operation since 1990 in sectors such as aeronautics and the automotive industry. The technique, the use of gas, carburising and the systems are the subject of numerous patents.
