The use of vacuum technology for carburizing has always shown the most potential for improving the manufacturing process by reducing both processing time and the number of manufacturing steps required to produce a part.

Many in the thermal-processing industry can recite dew-point conversion tables with closed eyes.

This article discusses different types of direct-fired gas burners that can be used for high-temperature applications.

Many papers have been written on the subject of vacuum furnace leaks, how to detect them and how to find them.

As a metallurgist, I am frequently asked for assistance on metallurgical issues relating to alloy products and selection. Here are the most frequently asked questions and a guide to answering these questions.

Using additive manufacturing not only can reduce lead times, it can provide significant cost savings through reduced material consumption and improved design.

Original-equipment manufacturers of automotive dies from all over Europe are using laser heat treating to deliver higher-quality dies faster and cheaper than U.S. OEMs.

The endothermic generator has been used in heat treating for decades. It was first introduced into the heat-treating market to produce consistency for a nonoxidizing, carbon-rich source for a neutral or carburizing atmosphere.

Specialized furnaces with integrated presses provide superior control of pressure and temperature to create better diffusion bonds when joining similar or dissimilar metals.
