White Papers for Industrial Heat Treating

“How can I increase my production, be cost-effective, keep my existing employees, and still be competitive?”

How utilizing Heat Reclaim technology can save you money and reduce your Carbon Footprint.

This paper focuses on the important parameters of the furnace and its atmosphere that affect the integrity of the sintering process, and gives guidance on how to approach and solve the problems they may cause.

A study shows an operator time savings of 86% for making and measuring indents in three locations of crank pins and journals when using Buehler's hardness automation compared to manual testing. There was less part manipulation, fewer errors in data transcription and lower variability between...

Estimate Flow in Your System Check your pump discharge pressure and find your operating point on the manufacturer's pump curve. A given impeller diameter will operate along a curve developing more pressure at lower flow rates and less pressure at higher flow rates. The more flow the pump...

SCR power controllers operating on the transformer primary often control electric heating applications employing transformer-coupled Silicon Carbide (SiC) heating elements. Traditionally, designers must choose between two modes of operation: phase angle or zero voltage firing. But neither...

The service life of stainless steel wire mesh belts in sintering furnaces is limited, because material deterioration results in wire fracture. A newly developed humidification system establishes a furnace atmosphere that maintains a protective oxide scale on the belt surface throughout the...

The fuzzy definitions of “raw material” and “parts” in specifications create variable and debatable heat treating quality standards.

Precise, repeatable heating: The client wanted more precise and repeatable heating than a torch could deliver, which induction was able to achieve...

The use of induction heating equipment for through-hardening applications provides a number of advantages over the traditional furnace hardening process. These advantages include reduced scale formation, little or no decarburization, better part quality, reduction in the need for protective...
