Rotor Clip, a global manufacturer of retaining rings, wave springs and self-compensating hose clamps, has purchased a complete AFC-Holcroft batch carburizing and austempering line.
The full line consists of a UBQA (Universal Batch Quench Austemper) furnace, a washer with transfer pump, temper furnace, transfer car, scissor lift table and stationary table, all provided by AFC-Holcroft.
The UBQA furnace is designed for neutral hardening, austempering, and other heat treating processes where a controlled environment is required during the heating and quenching portions of the cycle. Parts subjected to the austempering process are shown to have improved mechanical properties such as strength and toughness along with improved dimensional control during processing.
Rotor Clip is headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey (USA), with locations in Europe and Asia.
“Rotor Clip has been a long time customer of AFC-Holcroft” stated Ron Graham, Sales Engineer at AFC-Holcroft. “We are pleased that they entrusted us with this project to expand their heat treatment capabilities.”
