Annealing in an inert gas
Are you interested in the characteristics of annealing metals, steels and alloys in an atmosphere of inert gases from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find interesting information on this topic /
The essence of the process
In order to reduce metal losses for oxidation and decarburization, as well as to ensure guaranteed parameters of hardness and depth of thermally altered layers of processed billets, annealing processes are used in controlled atmospheres. Protective atmospheres are prepared on the basis of nitrogen in combination with controlled amounts of hydrogen, methanol or some hydrocarbons.
The use of protective gas atmospheres shortens the heat treatment time, nitrogen displaces oxidizing components, hydrogen blocks oxidation processes by undesirable surface reactions, and methanol and / or hydrocarbons avoid decarburization of the surface.
As a result, a significant improvement in the quality of the surface of the workpiece is achieved and the costs for possible surface finishing, for example, cleaning it from scale, calibration, etching, etc., are reduced.
Urgency of application
The processes of annealing in inert gases are used, if necessary, to reduce the loss of metal in the scale, and to improve the surface quality of the product that has undergone such annealing. Technologies are used in precision engineering and instrument making, as well as for heat treatment of scarce and expensive steel grades.
Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers at affordable prices from the manufacturer various metals and alloys successfully vacuum annealed, in the quantity and range required by the customer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer
Benefits
Modern furnaces for annealing in inert and protective gases are equipped with highly functional and accurate systems of automatic control of their operation, which are controlled by microprocessors. This guarantees the heat treatment of parts in accordance with specific design requirements. With the programmed control, each start of the annealing furnaces in the inert gas environment repeats the same mode with high accuracy as for the previous load.
Thermocouples and ionization devices constantly monitor the quality of the temperature and composition of the atmosphere in the furnaces, while blocking the necessary safety functions to prevent accidental damage to parts.
The areas of annealing in the environment of inert gas in enterprises are characterized by particularly high purity, which contributes to improving the environmental conditions of operation of the equipment. This is especially important in the subsequent processing of products, which went through the described type of annealing — soldering assemblies of electrical and electronic devices.
Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase various metals and alloys subjected to annealing technologies in the environment of inert gases, in any quantity and in a nomenclature of sizes. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards of production. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
