Introduction
 
For the hardening and sintering of metal objects we use different oven systems – vacuum furnaces, tunnel kilns, shaft kilns, etc. High temperatures of up to 1150oC are often used in these processes.

It is therefore important to choose appropriate materials for the transportation and storage of objects during this process. Heat resistant steel based materials with a high Ni content are often used and these are available as castings or rolled and welded material.

 
Vacuum systems often require materials in graphite of carbon fibre armoured light weight elements. Thermal elements are also a key requirement in order to control the heat treatment processes.

Gratings/baskets

 
We deliver burn pipes, gratings, baskets and charging equipment for tempering furnaces and sintering processes.
 


Retort furnaces
 
Retort furnaces and crucibles in titanium and nickel alloys – tolerating temperatures up to 1150oC.
 


Other equipment
 
We also deliver band conveyers, nets, muffle-liners and other equipment which require a tolerance for high temperatures.
