INC 41916 Atmospheric Controlled Furnace Generator

An item used to produce an exothermic type of atmosphere for use in heat treating furnaces to prevent surface oxidation of ferrous materials, where decarburization is not a factor, by partially burning a predetermined quantity of hydrocarbon gas with air in a refractory insulated combustion chamber. Used for such processes as annealing, tempering of steel, copper or silver brazing of steel, silver brazing on non-ferrous mixture in powder metallurgy and sintering of carbon powders.

Additional Information for Atmospheric Controlled Furnace Generator

An Atmospheric Controlled Furnace Generator is a type of equipment used in the metal heat treating and non-thermal treating processes. It falls under the supply class of Metal Heat Treating And Non-Thermal Treating Equipment and belongs to the supply group of Metalworking Machinery.

This type of furnace generator is designed to create a controlled atmosphere within the furnace during the heat treating process. The atmosphere inside the furnace can be adjusted to meet specific requirements, such as the type of metal being treated and the desired outcome of the heat treatment.

Atmospheric controlled furnace generators are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, where precise heat treatment is required to enhance the mechanical properties of metal components. These generators are capable of achieving high temperatures and maintaining a consistent atmosphere throughout the heat treating process.

Some key features of atmospheric controlled furnace generators may include:

1. Temperature control: The generator allows for precise temperature control, ensuring that the metal components are heated to the desired temperature for the required duration.

2. Atmosphere control: The generator can create and maintain specific atmospheres within the furnace, such as nitrogen, hydrogen, or a combination of gases, to achieve the desired heat treatment results.

3. Safety features: Furnace generators are equipped with safety features to prevent overheating, gas leaks, and other potential hazards. These features may include temperature sensors, pressure relief valves, and automatic shut-off systems.

4. Programmable settings: Many furnace generators have programmable settings that allow for customized heat treatment cycles. This enables operators to repeat specific heat treatment processes with consistent results.

5. Energy efficiency: Furnace generators are designed to be energy-efficient, minimizing energy consumption and reducing operating costs.

Overall, atmospheric controlled furnace generators play a crucial role in the metal heat treating and non-thermal treating processes by providing precise temperature and atmosphere control. They are essential equipment in the metalworking industry for achieving desired material properties and improving the performance of metal components.
