Controlled Atmosphere Solutions for Heat Treatment, AM and More

Controlling Reactions, Influencing Mechanical Properties and Protecting Valuable Raw Materials

For many decades, customers have relied on us to install, fine-tune and support the gas supply systems controlling the atmospheres that play a defining role in the success of heat treatment outcomes. In addition to special gas injection solutions, we offer application-specific furnace atmosphere control systems and optimized gas mixtures to improve process stability, precision and controllability in annealing, hardening, carburizing, nitrocarburizing, sintering and brazing as well as other heat treatment processes.

Looking beyond heat treatment, our ADDvance^® O₂ precision solution gives advanced, precise atmosphere control in powder bed fusion with laser beam (PBF-LB) processes, and our ADDvance^® powder cabinet protects valuable AM powders by controlling and adjusting the storage atmosphere. Pharma and biotech companies also rely on tight control over charging and storage atmospheres. Our N2LOCK^® sluices mitigate contamination by creating an inert, dry curtain for safe charging of bulk solids.

Many different steps in the food chain - from growth and harvesting through storage and packaging to distribution - also depend on food-grade gases and mixtures. In fact, customers across countless industries rely on our proven inerting, purging, sparging and blanketing solutions.
