Selecting a burner that meets emissions targets is imperative and requires a thorough understanding of the solutions available today.

It’s time to upgrade maintenance practices for vertical vessels. Like any routine maintenance, inspecting, removing and replacing refractory in vertical vessels places a costly burden on facilities in terms of downtime and lost productivity. One of the main reasons for this is the traditional solution for accessing vertical surfaces – scaffolding – severely limits efficiency.

Engineers have succeeded in building an industrial-scale levitation melting system. The special design allows casting of various reactive metals and alloys up to 500 g with high purity and short cycle times.

This article discusses how sintering parameters, especially the atmosphere, can be optimized on vacuum furnaces to obtain the best-possible quality from sintered stainless steel parts.
