The mechanical characteristics and the density of the pieces produced by additive manufacturing with stainless steels have long been studied and are currently very high, that is, similar if not higher than those of traditionally manufactured parts.
Their resistance to corrosion is less well known and investigated.

To investigate the corrosion behavior, the Metallurgy section of the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry (DCCI) of the University of Genoa in collaboration with TAV VACUUM FURNACES, the Saiem Srl company and the CNR-ICMATE of Padua started the study of steel samples made using the SLM technique (Selective Laser Melting).

Let's discover the interesting laboratory results.

Vacuum furnace brazing is a process of heat treatment that joins metallic parts to one another in an incredibly secure manner. Like the aerospace sector, automotive heat treatments are required for many high-quality joins and vacuum brazing fits the bill when other processes simply don't cut it.

In this article, you will discover exactly how the automotive sector leverages modern vacuum furnace technology and the various applications it can be put to.
Read on to find out everything you ever wanted to know about vacuum brazing furnaces and vehicle manufacturing.
