NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART LPC SYSTEM AT THE VERDELLO LOCATION

Our new LPC system is here!

The first trucks were unloaded yesterday, and our co-workers in Italy immediately started to commission the new system.

 

LPC stands for "Low Pressure Carburising" and designates a state-of-the-art technology for the case hardening and carbonitriding of steel components such as gears, shafts, mechanical components, etc.

 

 

The advantages of this process include:

  • Environmentally friendly process: lower gas consumption, no CO/CO2 emission
  • Improved carburising efficiency, through the use of acetylene
  • No intercrystalline oxidation thanks to the absence of oxygen
  • Perfectly controlled and repeatable case hardness depth within tight tolerances
  • Excellent component aesthetics
