Process / Capabilities
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is utilized in our industrial heat treating processes primarily to reduce atmospheric oxygen, preventing oxidation and ensuring a cleaner finish. This gas facilitates the achievement of desired mechanical properties like hardness and ductility through more uniform treatment across different metals.
Argon
Argon is employed in our furnaces to create an inert atmosphere, essential for treating metals sensitive to nitrogen and hydrogen. This capability is particularly beneficial for special alloys used in high-tech industries, which require precise and non-reactive conditions to maintain their unique properties during the heat-treating process.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is chosen for its ability to stabilize the furnace atmosphere at high temperatures. It is particularly effective in hardening and annealing processes, where its use results in stronger, more resilient metal components. Our capability to manipulate the nitrogen atmosphere is crucial for industries requiring material reliability and performance.
