A Tempering Oven will reduce the metal hardness.
The purpose of a Tempering Oven is to reduce the hardness of any steel or alloy formed product.
Tempering is a heat treatment technique applied to ferrous alloys, such as steel or cast iron, to achieve greater toughness by decreasing the hardness of the alloy. The reduction in hardness is usually accompanied by an increase in ductility, thereby decreasing the brittleness of the metal.
Tempering is usually performed after hardening or quenching. Quenching is the rapid cooling of the metal conversion to the hardest state to develop martensite, a brittle but extremely strong formation. Tempering is accomplished by controlling the heat of the quenched work-piece to a temperature below its “lower critical temperature”.
Approaching each project as a partnership, the goal of our Engineering Staff is to share the customer’s vision to produce the best Tempering Oven solution for the thermal processing application.
Each Industrial Oven 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 Tempering Oven 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 Tempering Oven will carry an 18-month extended manufacturer’s warranty from the date of shipment.
Tempering Oven 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.
