The heat treater might be surprised to learn that in order to understand how various heat-treatment processes create a particular microstructure and its corresponding mechanical properties, it is necessary to have a fundamental understanding of both thermodynamics and kinetics.
Since the development of commercial electric heating elements at the beginning of the 20th century, oxidation and corrosion resistance have been primary goals in the creation of new high-temperature resistance and construction alloys and ceramic materials.
Perhaps a half-dozen times over the course of The Doctor’s career have vacuum furnace users reported the presence of a white layer on the surface and near-surface of steel and stainless steel component parts after vacuum hardening and/or carburizing followed by vacuum oil quenching.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded patent number 9,540,721 to George Barbour, president of Heavy Carbon Co., for a method of carburizing that allows a carburizing process in a furnace at high temperatures in a protective atmosphere.
When producing quality parts in an atmosphere heat-treating system, it is essential to properly utilize the carburizing and quenching processes, as well as applicable modern technology.
Accurate Steel Treating and Accurate Ion Technologies of South Gate, Calif., and Thermal-Vac Technology of Orange, Calif., announced the formation of a strategic alliance known as Accurate Thermal Solutions.
