What Are Heat Treating Furnaces Used For?
During the process of heat treatment, a heat treating furnace or oven is used to intentionally change a material’s physical, and sometimes chemical, properties through the application of heat. After being heated to a high temperature, the material is uniformly cooled to change its structure. This process can be used to strengthen or soften a material, as well as improve its durability and performance.
Two of the two most popular materials for heat treatment are glass and metal. To effectively heat-treat these materials, manufacturers and laboratories use industrial heat treating ovens or furnaces. Since glass and metal require different heat treatments, the high-temperature oven needs to be versatile and reliable.
If your application has specific requirements, Sentro Tech can supply you with a specialized heat treating furnace that is designed to meet your needs. Heat treatment furnaces and ovens come in a variety of shapes, sizes and provisions to match the specifications of your industry, but can be further modified if needed. The size, temperature range, and process capabilities of high-temperature furnaces can be customized for various types of heat treatment methods and applications.
