Reproducibility and Process Control Process control quality for heat treatment, be it surface treatment or other metallurgical process, depends on quality procedures to accomplish process reproducibility.
Carbon-Based Insulation Keeps it Cool When it’s Really Hot When talking about temperature, high is a relative term. When things get really hot (above 1830°F), however, cost versus performance analysis reveals the value of carbon-based insulation materials. Because of their unique carbon content and structure, they lend themselves well to providing the required thermal protection at extremely high temperatures.

Efficient Gas Burners Achieve Significant Energy Savings When Kanthal set out to further develop its gas burner systems, its criteria were clearly defined, including high efficiency, low maintenance, low energy costs, reduced NOx emissions and adaptable design.
Plan on Carbon Tax This journal has addressed topics of global warming several times over the past year, but this piece reminds us that consequences of misinformed policies can be devastating to citizens, industry and the national future.

Can We Afford Cap-and-Trade Taxes? Our annual energy-saving issue inevitably includes a discussion of CO2. Why? Because reducing your energy consumption results in CO2 reduction – a smaller carbon footprint.

Temperature Uniformity Survey Tips (Part Two: Vacuum Furnaces) We have been discussing how to conduct temperature uniformity surveys (TUSs) and system accuracy tests (SATs) to comply with specifications such as AMS 2750D (Pyrometry), and we want to continue to expand that discussion. Let’s learn more.
