The endothermic generator has been used in heat treating for decades. It was first introduced into the heat-treating market to produce consistency for a nonoxidizing, carbon-rich source for a neutral or carburizing atmosphere.

Specialized furnaces with integrated presses provide superior control of pressure and temperature to create better diffusion bonds when joining similar or dissimilar metals.

Current codes, specifications and contracts usually require magnetic particle testing personnel to be certified. Here’s a look at what you need to know.

In our industry, many resources are available to find information on a variety of technologies. IHEA is one of those resources, and this induction article was graciously contributed by them.

The Jominy end-quench test is used to measure the hardenability of a steel, which is a measure of the capacity of the steel to harden in depth under a given set of conditions. This article considers the basic concepts of hardenability and the Jominy test.

The overall furnace design and volume determines the required throughput of the pumping system and the ultimate vacuum expected.

For anyone involved in industrial heating, a critical need of any heat-treatment process is the ability to measure and control both process and product temperature.

At this time last year, we saw a natural gas market emerge from the winter demand season in a volatile state.

An induction process consists of an induction power supply that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through an inductor.

Gears perform the critical functions of transmitting power or carrying motion in mechanical assemblies.
