Heat treat furnaces are used in the process of heat treating metals which involves mostly heating and subsequently rapid quenching and annealing.
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 treatment include brazing, tempering, annealing, case hardening, normalizing and sintering.
The configuration of equipment and engineering that goes into a furnace impact the quality of the parts coming out. Here are the basics you need to know.
