Atmosphere thermal processing improves the properties of fabricated metals. Operations include annealing, brazing, sintering (for powdered metals, metal injection molding and additive manufacturing) and glass or ceramic-to-metal sealing.
Hydrogen is one of the highest-volume gases consumed by the heat-treat industry and is used for a broad range of process applications because of its unique chemical and physical properties.
Since the early 1950s, family-owned FMS Corporation (Minneapolis, Minn.) has been producing high-quality sintered-metal components for a variety of industries.
Praxair Inc. is expanding its business and building a steam methane reformer to increase the supply of hydrogen for its liquid hydrogen plant in Niagara Falls, N.Y.
In numerous controlled-atmosphere, metallurgical-based heat-treating processes, hydrogen becomes an expensive wasted asset because it is typically vented or flared shortly after being introduced into the furnace. This practice is predominately due to the lack of commercially available, cost-effective, reliable recycling technology.
