Trouble Shooting Electrical Issues – A Round Table Discussion on Industrial Furnaces Thursday, August 4, 2022 11:00 AM ET PANELISTS: Dustin Yetzer – Applications Engineer Brian Smith – Applications Engineer Matt Pavlock – Field Service Manager Don Schnars – Technical Services
The choice of furnace belts for high temperatures will boil down to mesh belts and rollers. This article covers the advantages of both.
Learn how soft magnetics work, what they can do and why they are better than conventional steel magnets.
Continuous Furnaces (also known as Continuous Belt or Conveyor Belt Furnaces) carry process parts or material through the primary heating chamber for rapid thermal processing. They are designed for fast drying products and are often a great choice for medium and high-volume part manufacturing. https://abbottfurnace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Why-Continuous-Belt-Furnaces_.mp4
Heat-treating is using rapid heating and cooling to alter the physical or chemical properties of metal or other substances. This is usually done to improve the metal’s hardness, strength, or ductility, but heat-treating can also be used to remove residual stress and increase wear resistance. Processes that rely on heat
An alternative method in the production of soft magnetic material is the Nautilus process – a dedicated, continuous process furnace that completes all the steps from lubricant removal through final steam treatment/curing. This process features convective heat, an appropriate delubrication temperature range of 350˚F to 1000˚F, and a separate chamber
Learn how Abbott and ExOne have partnered to deliver high-density, repeatable results in binder jet printing and sintering 6061 aluminum and the role that our continuous furnaces, such as the Vulcan, have as an essential part of the process.https://abbottfurnace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Binder-Jetting-6061-aluminum-and-the-importance-of-Abbotts-continuous-furnace.mp4
Lubricant removal has been one of the major problems in the production of powdered metal components. But now, there has been a paradigm shift in how they are removed.
With the electrification of our world ever-growing, the application of soft magnetic components is rapidly increasing. A novel, new approach was developed to produce soft magnetics in a continuous process that is more efficient and cost-effective.
Molded pulp (molded fiber) is a versatile multi-tasker in the world of packaging materials. Manufacturers across industries use it to protect many types of products.
PANELISTS: Dustin Yetzer – Applications Engineer Brian Smith – Applications Engineer Matt Pavlock – FieldService Manager Don Schnars – Technical Services Our furnace experts answered 14 of your most burning questions about industrial furnace troubleshooting, maintenance, repair, and emergency situations.
