L&L Special Furnace Co. Inc. received an order for 10 benchtop laboratory furnaces. The furnaces, which have an effective work zone of 10 inches high x 15 inches wide x 13 inches deep, will be used as part of a precious-metals recovery system for a manufacturer of catalytic convertors, medical devices and pollution controls. The precious metals are burned out of the existing product and placed in crucibles. The crucibles are then heated at temperatures of 1800-2200°F (982-1204°C). This allows any impurities in the metals to rise to the surface and be removed for further refinement. The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.
Did you know that Paul Revere was an early metallurgist? Revere’s early education was sufficient to enable him to later read the difficult metallurgical books of his day. His early training was by his father, who was a Boston silversmith. At 19 – upon the death of his father in 1754 – Revere took over the family silver shop. A perfectionist throughout his life, he went on to become one of America’s greatest artists in silver.
