VAPOR PHASE ALUMINIZING FURNACE

The high-temperature Sealed Atmosphere Retort furnace is specifically designed for vapor phase aluminide (VPA) coating technology, making it the preferred choice for aerospace manufacturers seeking to enhance the performance and longevity of turbine blades and vanes. This process substantially increases the durability of superalloys, enhancing their resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and erosion at high-burn temperatures.

Engineered to maximize return on investment (ROI), improve reliability, and streamline maintenance for your VPA Coating process, the SAR furnace optimizes the high-temperature durability of treated components by applying an aluminide or thin oxide layer to superalloys.
