Continuous Rapid Tempering of an Induction hardened Crank shaft The case file describes the introduction of a Pyromaitre Continuous Conveyor Oven to temper Induction hardened Forged Steel Crank shafts rapidly in less than an hour (cycle time -In to Out). This...
Rapid heating is the process by which a material can be heated to precise temperatures in a short period of time, and it has many uses. This article will summarize how PYRO Rapid Heat Transfer transfers heat to metal parts using an ultrahigh rate air convection...
One of the challenges we face when analyzing steel parts such as springs is their complex geometrical configurations. It is therefore difficult, dare I say impossible in the case of springs, to directly assess the latter and measure their hardness. In the best of...
As I attempted to explain in my previous blog, carbon, an element composed of one of the smallest atoms, is capable of moving freely throughout the atomic structure which is mainly made up of iron, if we give it enough thermal energy and a little time. When rapidly...
Today’s scientists in the field of metallurgy know that when you take a piece of steel and heat it to a bright yellow, its mechanical properties undergo enormous changes. Thereafter, 3 options are available: the part can be stored in a oven that is turned off for...
