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.

Metal additive manufacturing or metal 3D printing are terms that everyone in the metal-processing industry is seeking to understand. The “what” and the “how” are becoming clearer every day.

Many factors come into play during the vacuum sintering process, from the size and materials used in the furnace hot zone to whether debinding and sintering processes are combined in a single unit.
