ACME Wins 2025 China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Award

Recently, the list of winners for the 2025 China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Awards was officially announced. The achievement “Research, Development, and Application of Technical Standards and Equipment for Vacuum Low-Pressure Carburizing and High-Pressure Gas Quenching Heat Treatment,” in whichACME participated, was honored with the Second Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress.

This award, jointly established by the China Machinery Industry Federation and the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, stands as one of the industry's highest honors, representing the pinnacle of technological innovation within the machinery sector.

The award-winning project integrates two core processes—vacuum low-pressure carburizing and high-pressure gas quenching—demonstrating technological innovation inprecise heat treatment. The vacuum low-pressure carburizing process ensures uniform and consistent surface quality by precisely controlling the carburizing process under low-pressure conditions. This is followed by high-pressure gas quenching, which achieves rapid cooling through high-velocity gas flow, effectively minimizing parts’deformation.

This technologycombination precisely enhances the surface hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength of metal components, significantly extending their service life. It is particularly well-suited for high-end manufacturing sectors such as aerospace andprecise instrumentation.

As the performance demands for components in high-end equipment manufacturing continue to rise, heat treatment technology—a critical process for enhancing component performance—is increasingly recognized for its innovative value. As a leading enterprise in the field of specialized thermal processing equipment,ACME will contribute to the high-quality development of the heat treatment industry through continuous technological innovation.
