TAV Vacuum Furnaces, based in Caravaggio, Italy, highlighted the work of its Performance Lab, a key strategic resource within the company’s R&D department, in a recent blog post.

The laboratory is equipped with a range of highly specialised furnaces designed to support R&D activities focused on refining heat treatment processes. Through its range of technical features, the company can perform numerous fundamental tests on metals and ceramics, including common heat treatments, sintering, brazing and thermochemical treatments.

In addition to research and development activities, the TAV Performance Lab also serves as a technology transfer platform, allowing the company’s customers to save money on their R&D activities and become operational with tested and qualified processes directly after the furnace installation phase.

“Our commitment to research and development offers a concrete response to the most advanced industrial challenges and needs, ensuring our customers always have cutting-edge products and processes,” the company explained. “We offer the opportunity to carry out dedicated test runs and this collaborative approach allows us to develop tailor-made solutions that perfectly meet specific needs, ensuring top-level performance.”
