Vacuum Annealing and Tempering

Precise Thermal Optimization for Highest Material Quality

Thermal Processes for UHV, Cryogenic & High-Temperature Applications


Vacuum heat treatment is one of our core competencies and forms the foundation for manufacturing mechanically resilient, low-stress, and corrosion-resistant components. By applying state-of-the-art vacuum annealing processes, we enable oxidation-free and residue-free thermal treatment – ideal for use in UHV technology, cryogenics, and semiconductor manufacturing.

Our materials expertise plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of vacuum heat treatment. The precise selection and processing of copper, CuCrZr, Glidcop, stainless steel, titanium, and high-performance alloys ensures uniform material properties, reduced internal stresses, and improved machinability.

Our Strengths in Vacuum Heat Treatment

Maximum purity and durability through closed vacuum processes.

Tailored thermal treatments for diverse material requirements.

Optimized processing of copper, CuCrZr, Glidcop, stainless steel, titanium, and high-temperature alloys.

Ensures reproducible results and high product quality.

Our Vacuum Annealing Processes for Precise Material Properties

Removes trapped hydrogen to prevent embrittlement – essential for steels, titanium, and other pressure- and temperature-stressed materials.

Minimizes internal stresses after machining or welding – commonly used for heavily loaded components.

Restores the original microstructure after cold working – especially important for copper alloys such as CuCrZr and Glidcop.

Creates homogeneous material properties by balancing concentration differences – ideal for nickel and cobalt alloys.
