Furnaces for heat treatment of steel products
Additional heat treatment is performed to improve the technical characteristics of steel products or blanks. A special quenching furnace allows you to consistently perform the following technological operations:
- Rapid or gradual heating to the desired temperature – the parameters are set by the operator and maintained automatically.
- Holding or holding the set temperature.
- Cooling by accelerated (using blow-off) or natural (slow) method.
Such a quenching furnace, which can be purchased through the Intelligent Robot Systems (IRS) company, is selected for a specific type of production and taking into account the specifics of the technological tasks set.
Classification and types of furnaces for quenching
Heat treatment equipment is classified according to the design scheme of operation and the technology used for heating. A special furnace for quenching steel, maybe:
- Electric — this option is usually used for operations requiring precise temperature control, suitable for piece production and laboratory research. They are recommended for processing products made of carbon and alloy steels.
- Gas furnaces are a practical technology for medium and large industrial enterprises, used for quenching heavy and bulky products made of ferrous steels or cast iron.
- Induction heaters are high—tech and have a high heating rate. They are excellent for processing parts requiring minimal deformations from tool or high-carbon steel grades.
- Vacuum systems are high—tech equipment that provides heating and exposure of the material without access to air, which ensures the absence of formation of oxidative reactions. There is a uniform distribution of heat inside the entire working chamber. Depending on the type of installation, they can be vertical or horizontal.
