INC 66859 Metal Treating Chilling Chamber

An enclosure that uses a water/air cooled compressor and/or liquid nitrogen/oxygen to lower temperature of objects to -100 degrees Fahrenheit (-67.5 degrees Celsius) or lower. The primary use is to convert steel from austenite to martensite, for age hardening, stress relieving, expansion assembly, dimensional stabilization, spark and precipitation hardening, and other heavy-duty industrial chilling applications. Can also be used for low temperature storage of materials. Excludes REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER, MECHANICAL, FOOD; FREEZER, MECHANICAL, FOOD; and FREEZER, PREFABRICATED.

Additional Information for Metal Treating Chilling Chamber

A Metal Treating Chilling Chamber is a type of equipment that is used in the metal heat treating and non-thermal treating processes. It is specifically designed to cool down metal parts or components rapidly after they have been subjected to high temperatures during heat treatment.

The chilling chamber is typically a closed system that utilizes a cooling medium, such as liquid nitrogen or compressed air, to rapidly lower the temperature of the metal parts. This rapid cooling process is known as quenching and is essential for achieving desired material properties, such as increased hardness or improved strength.

The Metal Treating Chilling Chamber is an important piece of equipment in the metalworking industry, as it allows for precise control over the cooling process and ensures consistent and repeatable results. It is commonly used in various applications, including the heat treatment of steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys.

In summary, a Metal Treating Chilling Chamber is a specialized piece of equipment used in the metal heat treating and non-thermal treating processes to rapidly cool down metal parts after they have been subjected to high temperatures.
