Furnaces and heat treatments

New induction heating systems At wire 2010, ATE presented two new induction heating systems to complete its range of continuous heating systems for the parallel treatment of wires.

The new systems are called IMW and CMW. The main feature of the IMW system is the simultaneous heating of each wire, even where they have different diameters, by means of a dedicated inductor fed by the related frequency converter. The CMW system is instead designed for a bundle of wires, heated using a single inductor fed by a single frequency converter.

The advantages of these new systems over traditional systems are in terms of efficiency, energy consumption, quality and compactness. Applications may include annealing, stress relieving, brass-diffusion and pre-heating or other industrial processes requested by the end-user.

Protective gas chamber furnaces Protective gas chamber furnaces from Linn High Therm have a gas tight muffle for heat treatment processes under a protective gas atmosphere at temperatures

up to 1,050°C. Maximum chamber capacity is 15 litres. The units are used for soldering and annealing processes of work pieces, scale-free treatment of sensitive steel qualities, de-binding and sintering processes, oxidation or reduction of surfaces and many more applications, under a controlled atmosphere (also H2).
