Description

The electric single zone heat treatment furnace design uses an arrangement of heater elements located on either side of the heating chamber and provides the best possible control of heat transfer, temperature uniformity, and fuel efficiency.

The hot face of the furnace is constructed using low mass ceramic fibre panels, This lining design is well proven in use and provides a stable, shrink-resistant structure. Access is gained through the singular front vertically opening a counterbalanced and electrically powered door. The door is secured with a quick-release locking clamp and is further fitted with a heater interlock and safety bolt for when the door is raised.

Heating is supplied through a twin bank of Incoloy sheathed elements distributed evenly along both sides of the chamber.

There are a number of thermocouples located in the chamber, which carry out temperature control, over-temperature, and zone monitoring/recording.

The instruments and controls are housed in a freestanding panel adjacent to the furnace. The control panel containing furnace controllers, over-temperature controller, and indicators. Also housed in the panel is contactors, main switch fuse, control relays and thyristor control.

There are three Eurotherm digital controllers including:

  • Eurotherm 6100A data recorder
  • Eurotherm 2416 PID controller
  • Eurotherm 92 overtemperature controller

Equipment for Electric Heating Comprising:

  • Set spiral elements mounted on ceramic support tubes for sidewalls
  • Self-contained, fully assembled control panel containing the following main equipment.
  • PID controller - Eurotherm 2416.
  • Over-Temperature controllers - Eurotherm 92.
  • Eurotherm 6100A paperless chart recorder, (18 channel, records current, millivolts, resistance and voltage).
  • Set of pushbuttons and indicators.
  • Set of fuses.
  • Set of thermocouples and compensating cables.

Former Radius Aerospace

This plant is one of several machines acquired during Radius Aerospace's reorganisation of their manufacturing facility at Shrewsbury, UK.
Their worldwide reputation for quality is reflected in the machinery and maintenance of their manufacturing plant.
Many of these machines include features that are necessary for the manufacture of aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines,
but can provide a benefit to any industry.

Common Heat Treatments That Use Industrial Ovens & Furnaces

Heat treatment is a controlled process of heating and cooling materials in order to improve its properties, performance, and strength typically made up of three main steps. Firstly heating the metal to a specific temperature, soaking or maintaining the specific temperature for a certain amount of time, and cooling to a suitable rate following prescribed methods.

There are seven main techniques used for the heat treatment of materials, and all affect material in different way. These techniques are:

  1. Normalising
  2. Annealing
  3. Tempering
  4. Hardening
  5. Ageing
  6. Stress Relieving
  7. Carburisation
