Areas of application

GERO’s industrial furnaces are used for a wide range of heat treatment processes.

Fields of application:

  • Debinding (catalytic, thermal)
  • Sintering of powder metallurgical materials (e.g. MIM/CIM with BASF feedstock)
  • Sintering, annealing and tempering of ceramic/metal materials
  • Tempering, reduction of glass Pyrolysis of presursors
  • Silicon infiltration under vacuum
  • Soldering e.g. in high vacuum Crystal growth equipment
  • Calibration of thermocouples and pyrometers
  • Hardening
  • Annealing
  • Quenching
  • Degassing
  • Carbonisation
  • Sublimation
  • Synthesis
  • Rapid Prototyping
