Gas quenching represents an environmentally friendly alternative to more commonly -used oil quenching. ECM has developed an innovative “Step Quenching Process” for quality and performance improvement on finished parts in the automotive industry.
The study will focus on the “Step Quenching Process”. The goal of this process is to significantly reduce the level of distortion and/or increase mechanical properties. Some industrial applications will be shown with detailed data. Explanations will be given on why these improvements could be beneficial for manufacturing process costs.
This process could be directly applied on existing processes for global cost reduction and quality improvement or for future products which need higher performance and higher levels of quality.
