Bodycote Purchases Endothermic Generator
Bodycote Thermal Processing purchased an AFC-Holcroft E-Z Series 13,500-cfh
endothermic generator for installation at its Fort Wayne, Ind., plant. The
modular design of the E-Z Series generator enables multiple units to be
integrated for higher-capacity atmosphere generation. In this case, an array of
three 4,500-cfh systems are integrated together to provide the needed capacity
while requiring less floor space than three stand-alone units. The atmosphere
produced by the E-Z Series generator, when enriched with natural gas, is
suitable for gas carburizing and carbon restoration of the low- and
medium-carbon steels. The addition of ammonia to the atmosphere will create a
suitable atmosphere for carbonitriding. The atmosphere, as generated, may be
used for clean annealing, normalizing and hardening of all carbon steels.
