Annealing Gas Atmospheres |
Gas atmospheres for annealing can range from nitrogen-based blends with hydrogen for carbon steels (to improve microstructure, surface appearance and reduce residual stresses), to 100% hydrogen (for stainless steels or for faster batch processing of carbon steel components). For vacuum annealing of reactive metals, we can provide argon or helium atmospheres. Our atmospheres can help you achieve improved and consistent quality, reduced post-heat-treatment cleaning or pickling costs and reduced furnace maintenance.

Oxygen |
Oxygen is required for any combustion process. By supplementing or replacing combustion air with oxygen, overall combustion can be improved through increased heat transfer, higher flame temperatures, and reduced volume of flue gases. As a result, you can achieve greater fuel efficiencies and increase production rates in your post treatment operations where direct-fired heating occurs (e.g. coating, tempering, etc.).

Process Management System |
You can effectively track operating trends with our advanced methods for data collection and process monitoring. This insight can help you identify areas for improvement so you can achieve more consistent results and lower operating costs. Our systems can automatically generate reports for the data that is most critical to your operation and notify key personnel of deviations from process set-points or targets.
