CM Technologies started manufacturing heat-treating
furnaces in 1928. Since that time, ECM personnel have
always been committed to extending their knowledge
in the field of temperature control, high pressures,
vacuum, the behavior of materials and the quality construction
of furnaces. This expertise has always been enriched by our close
partnership with furnace users, engineers, heat-treat engineers
and developers.
Today, our knowledge base is at the core of all of our
customers’ heat-treating equipment. It is this concern for caring
and listening, combined with our passion for our profession,
that has forged ECM Technologies and its subsidiaries ECM
USA, ECM CHINA and ECM INDIA to a high level of
spirited innovation.
With this innovative spirit comes the diligence to provide
new products in this ever-changing market. We have mastered
our products over the last 20 years, especially our low-pressure
vacuum carburizing (LPC) systems. These systems have been
successfully integrated with more than 200 installations and
1,000 heating cells, providing millions of carburized parts and
years of equipment and process reliability.
This level of supply has catapulted ECM to become the world
leader in LPC furnace supply and technology. This equipment
has not only advanced LPC with our patented INFRACARB
process, it has allowed for vacuum oil quenching and the
integration of 20-bar high-pressure gas-quenching capabilities.
Gas-quenching technology has advanced to daily industrialuse of standard steels with large loads. ECM has also created
processes to increase fatigue life and wear resistance using
readily available and plentiful nitrogen. Our latest gas-quench
cell design, with the industry’s largest quench motors and
heat exchangers, offers new opportunities to quench lower-
hardenability steels using reverse f low quenching.
We provide technical benefits that are more effective,
reproducible and efficient heat treatments that comply with
the applicable standards. Economic benefits can be due to
shorter cycles and the integration of the heat treatment into
the part f low or manufacturing cell. An engineering design
office using CAD and a welding shop for vacuum and pressure
vessels along with wiring, piping, heat insulating, experienced
manufacturing, test platforms
and a metallurgical laboratory
are just some of ECM USA’s in-
house technical resources. These
industrial choices guarantee our
autonomy and the peerless quality
of the systems we sell.
ECM Technologies’ expertise
is available for every customer,
wherever they are, to ensure they
get the best from their systems.
Our field service can provide
“as needed” solutions. Remote
assistance has been set up to
accelerate and facilitate service on
most systems. Everyone on our
teams contributes to the quality of
the furnaces you buy. From the first
draft specifications to production,
each step is hallmarked by quality.
Individual expertise and collective
effort drive our success.ECM USA
