Ipsen'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.[3]
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
