FROM THE ARCHIVE: Broaching in the 21st Century

Back around 2005-2010, the most exciting things that were happening in broaching had little to do with broaching. What was happening–and continues to evolve today–was the emergence of on-the-edge CNC, software, and servo drive technology. Together, they practically transformed a metalworking process as old as water into a viable, alternative consideration for producing high-volume part runs.

Low Pressure Carburizing of Gears Solar Atmospheres provides low pressure carburizing (LPC) that significantly increases the surface hardness/strength of steel parts for improved friction and wear. Performing LPC in a vacuum furnace eliminates oxygen and prevents IGO (intergranular oxidation) that is inherent in atmospheric carburizing, resulting in clean parts with less distortion reducing post process finishing operations, and costs.
