What is AMS2750E?

The AMS2750E standard, also known as Aerospace Material Specification 2750E, is the international regulation that governs the control and calibration of thermal processes in the aerospace industry. Its purpose is to ensure traceability, accuracy, and repeatability in heat treatment processes such as hardening, tempering, annealing, and other critical operations applied to aircraft, satellite, and space system components.

In practical terms, this specification defines:

  • Furnace classes based on temperature uniformity.

  • Calibration and verification frequency for control and recording instruments.

  • SAT and TUS protocols (System Accuracy Test and Temperature Uniformity Survey).

  • Documentation and traceability requirements for aerospace audits.

Compliance with AMS2750E is not only a quality assurance measure but also a mandatory requirement for suppliers in the aerospace industry, as well as in other demanding sectors such as defense and advanced automotive.

 

 AMS2750 Classes for Furnaces and Ovens
   
Class Uniformity
1 ± 3°C
2 ± 5 °C / ± 6 °C
3 ± 7 °C / ± 8 °C
4 ± 10°C
5 ± 14°C
6 ± 28°C

The HCV AC Series range of chamber furnaces are very sturdy, high quality industrial furnaces for the heat treatment of small and large parts in oxidizing atmosphere (air) or controlled atmosphere.
Furnaces made of high quality bricks and ceramic fibres with air chambers.

HCV AC Series – Forced convection chamber furnaces up to 600ºC, 800ºC and 1000ºC for heat treatment processes such as quenching, tempering, sintering, welding, annealing, hardening and other processes requiring high homogeneity, compatible with AMS 2750 aerospace standards.

Heating elements on freely radiating support tubes in the furnace chamber allow particularly short heating times and a maximum temperature of 600 °C, 800ºC, 1000ºC with 5 heated zones for high homogeneity.

Asychronous engine for a better temperature distribution inside the furnace

The air flow is produced by a motor located at the rear or top – outside of the furnace, which is connected by a shaft to a refractory steel turbine

The chiller is required to cool the forced circulation motor/fan. The motor shaft has a water circuit to protect the motor
