Annealing Furnaces
VICHOR Annealing Furnace is a piece of heat treatment equipment used to transform or restore metallurgical properties in a temperature controlled environment, allowing the strength and hardness properties of these materials and internal stresses to be changed.
When the form or shape of any metal item is changed as part of a manufacturing process, this will usually alter its underlying metallurgy, through work hardening, for example the wire drawing process.
Annealing furnaces are used sequentially in such manufacturing processes, to restore or further change the metal’s properties in order to achieve the desired end-results for the product concerned. As a result of this they come in a wide variety of sizes and are capable of different functions and temperatures. There are two main forms of annealing furnace in use, with the differences between the two as follows:
Batch annealing furnace – Single or multiple stacks of items, such as coils, go inside the heated chamber on a static base and are heated and cooled over a fixed interval.
Continuous annealing furnace – Material is heated as it moves along a conveyor belt or on a rotating base.
Whether a process requires a batch annealing furnace or a continuous annealing furnace depends on the types of metal involved, and the properties which need to be modified within the materials used. A longer length of wire or a length of strip product will generally require a continuous annealing furnace, while a batch annealing furnace would deal with smaller projects.
VICHOR Bright Annealing Furnaces use the latest bright annealing techniques to achieve bright surface finish in nitrogen or hydrogen based atmospheres mainly for various metal ribbons, tubes, threads, thin-wall deep drawn container, and all kinds of parts with different shapes.
