We continue our look at the diverse industries that use fasteners. In April, we touched on general fastener information and the equipment used to heat treat fasteners. We discussed the aerospace and medical industries, and this article picks up where we left off.

Fastener applications are as diverse as the industries they service, driven primarily by the aerospace, construction and automotive industries with petrochemical, nuclear, medical, marine and mining being important niche markets.

CAN-ENG Furnaces International Ltd. commissioned a 1,500-pounds/hour continuous mesh-belt atmosphere hardening furnace system for a large North American fastener manufacturer.

Ambrell sold two EASYHEAT 10-kW induction heating systems for thread rolling to a fastener manufacturerfor the aerospace industry.

Ambrell sold four EKOHEAT 45-kW/100-kHz induction heating systems to a fastener manufacturer.

Fastener reliability and performance can only be ensured by testing. Since heat treatment can have a profound influence on final properties, it is especially important to conduct testing on the raw material, after heat treatment and on the finished product.

Ambrell sold an EKOHEAT 35-kW/30-kHz induction heating system to a fastener manufacturer.

Ambrell installed an EKOHEAT 65-kW/100-kHz induction heating system for a leading fastener manufacturer.
