In many thermal processes, all-metal vacuum furnaces offer a variety of technological benefits compared to furnaces with non-metallic (e.g., graphite) hot zones.

A considerable need for natural gas is one of the key problems of Ukraine’s energy balance.

Increased demand for large, high-precision gears requires specialized heat-treating equipment.

In today’s high-tech world, consumer products (especially consumer electronics) gather significant attention and are commonly credited with making one’s life easier and improving all of our personal productivity.

Originally published in April 1980, AMS 2750 has become one of the prime governing documents related to many industrial heating applications.

Processing metals and ceramics can require very special firing conditions and operating environments in order to achieve optimal physical properties.

This article takes a look at the options, process and questions that will help you make the decision to automate your induction heating process.

Heating elements are used in numerous consumer and industrial products. These elements are used to heat air in various applications such as clothes dryers, room heaters and heating ducts for performance testing of power-generation equipment. The heating elements are made from wire and strip products. They are typically wound into coils to maximize the surface area of the heating element to rapidly heat flowing air.

Vacuum furnaces are expensive to purchase and operate. By using creative fixturing solutions, manufacturers and repair shops can safely increase the number of parts brazed or heat treated per run, increasing productivity while lowering the cost per unit.

SCR power controllers operating on the transformer primary often control electric heating applications employing transformer-coupled silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements.
