Retort Furnaces

The finely crafted sections of rocket engines are brazed into a single assembly during a series of protective atmosphere heat treatment steps in a CEC Retort furnace. This is one of many detailed and difficult machine components that are made in the USA within a high alloy Retort furnace fully designed, engineered and manufactured by CEC.

Retort furnaces have varying thermal process which cover a wide temperature range; 800°F (427°C) to 2200°F (1204°C). Some of the processes include:

• Annealing

• Carburizing

• Normalizing

• Brazing
