Do’s and don’ts guides are an engineer’s best friend. They’re an objective instruction tool that helps system architects and fabricators to navigate processing minefields. In that regard, hot zone maintenance procedures employ a highly organised sequential approach. That systematic methodology begins with a pre-processing phase, a maintenance checklist that governs […]
Does a factory full of furnaces look like some industrial hell? In point of fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Science-lab accuracy and high-tolerance engineering exactitude rule every processing stage. In those heated furnaces, temperature uniformity is a beyond critical quality, one that comprehensively eliminates heat treatment inconsistencies. […]
As stated in our earlier articles, flame hardening technology selectively heats and hardens parts of a metal workpiece. Imagine the teeth of a spur gear being subjected to the flame, or perhaps it’s the leading edge of a chisel that experiences the focused flame. Looked at from the perspective of […]
Metal fabricators employ numerous tooling stations, which is as it should be because complex geometrical profiles are processed within these expert workshops. Some tools bend, others drill, then, waiting in the wings, there are bandsaw cutters and shop presses waiting. In essence, the workpieces are exposed to enormous stresses. These […]
The flame hardening process is a cost-effective heat treatment technique. Primarily, it’s the high-intensity oxy-gas flame that keeps project expenditure low. The flame hardens localised workpiece areas, so application economy exists right there. Next, the movable flame head controls hardening depth, which is yet another cost-saving benefit. Now that we’ve […]
