L&L Special Furnace Co. Inc. shipped a dual-chamber heat-treating furnace to a southeastern U.S. manufacturer of various items used in the production of heavy equipment and transportation devices. The box furnace will be used to heat treat the tooling used to manufacture these items. Its top chamber, which has an effective work zone of 16 inches wide x 16 inches high x 32 inches deep, is used to harden tool steels. Its bottom chamber, which has an effective work zone of 14 inches wide x 14 inches high x 32 inches deep, is used for tempering, stress relief and preheating.

Wisconsin Oven Corp. shipped a natural-gas-fired, dual-chamber furnace to the automotive industry. The furnace, which will be used for preheating dies, has a maximum operating temperature of 1250°F and work-chamber dimensions of 6 feet wide x 4 feet long x 6 feet high. It has sufficient capability to heat 4,000 pounds of steel from 70-1100°F within four hours when loaded into a preheated furnace.

Wisconsin Oven shipped a natural-gas-fired indexing conveyor oven to an automotive-parts manufacturer in Canada. The oven, which has a maximum temperature of 1100°F (593°C), will be used to preheat aluminum billets prior to forging into automotive suspension components under high pressure. This forging process produces high-strength parts that are ideal for applications where performance and safety are critical.

No. 846 is a 900°F (482°C), high-temperature walk-in oven that can be used for preheating steel molds.

The electronic surface thermometer has been engineered for a wide range of critical temperature monitoring applications.

JPW Industrial Ovens & Furnaces received an order for a large preheat oven to be used to preheat and remove moisture from aluminum castings.

Wisconsin Oven Corp. shipped a gas-fired, two-lane indexing conveyor oven used for preheating sand cores.

Induction heating has long been used in a number of industries for more traditional applications, but it is a fairly new technology to be employed in welding. Recently, it has become more and more common to find it being used in both construction and industrial welding processes.
