Stress Relief Furnaces relieve stresses in materials generated by welding, machining, or heat processing.
The purpose of a Stress Relief Furnace is to raise the temperature of a component to slightly below the transformation temperature. This elevation in temperature eliminates internal stresses caused by secondary processes such as welding, machining, or cold forming. Upon reaching completion of the heat-up and hold cycle, the parts are then cooled at a controlled rate.
Approaching each project as a partnership, the goal of our Engineering Staff is to share the customer’s vision to produce the best Stress Relief solution for the thermal processing application.
Each Industrial Furnace project undergoes a comprehensive evaluation of every production requirement. The assessment includes areas such as production goals, part configuration and construction, part mass, temperature profile, and facility location or elevation.
Each Stress Relief Furnace is tested for performance, accuracy, safety systems, air management and temperature uniformity.
The equipment conforms, in accordance with customer requirements, to the following standards: NFPA, IRI, FM, OSHA, JIC, NEC, UL, and CE.
Providing a distinct competitive advantage, International Thermal Systems offers a number of patent protected heat processing solutions.
Our Technical Service Department provides international support for ALL makes and models of thermal processing equipment.
The Stress Relief Furnace will carry an 18-month extended manufacturer’s warranty from the date of shipment.
Stress Relief Furnace Features include:
Economical operation is achieved with superior thermal process engineering practices that apply state-of-the-art insulation material, airflow management, and custom programming.
Recirculation fans with high efficiency motors to reduce energy consumption.
Recirculation ductwork designs provide precise airflow to specific areas of the product resulting in smaller foot print ovens thus reducing utility and factory space costs.
High-efficiency (gas or electric) heat sources to reduce energy costs.
Robust structural oven frames and component supports.
Application specific insulation materials are selected to provide optimum insulating characteristics and long term energy savings.
Design considerations for easy access to process areas and oven components.
Private labeled and purchased components meet UL, UR, and CE standards.
Programmable controllers with HMI (Human Machine Interface) displays allow for user friendly operation and machine diagnostics.
