Products
editIpsen's industrial furnaces are used for hardening steel and other metals in different processes to satisfy completely the high-quality requirements of engines, gears, generating plant manufacturing and other industrial parts and equipment.
Ipsen has customers in medical technology and engineering, wind power generation, aviation, food, automotive, aerospace, tool manufacturing, mechanical engineering and hardening shops.
Heat treatment is a crucial, very cost-effective process to considerably improve the structural conditions and consequently the resilience of metals, in particular to steel and titanium alloys. Ipsen's industrial furnaces - vacuum furnaces, atmosphere furnaces and pusher-type furnaces - are used for the following heat treatment processes: hardening, quenching, tempering, carburization, carbon nitriding, nitro carburization, bright tempering, annealing, vacuum brazing, temperature brazing, plasma nitriding
