Protective gas chamber furnaces
Protective gas chamber furnaces from Linn High Therm have a gas tight muffle
for heat treatment processes under a protective gas atmosphere at temperatures
up to 1,050°C. Maximum chamber capacity is 15
litres. The units are used for soldering and annealing
processes of work pieces, scale-free treatment of
sensitive steel qualities, de-binding and sintering
processes, oxidation or reduction of surfaces
and many more applications, under a controlled
atmosphere (also H2).
A wide selection of options enables universal application:
Inconel muffle for a maximum operating temperature up to 1,200°C •
Gas feeding, burning-off device and flame supervision •
Protective gas controlling, standard or MFC •
Safety package •
Gas ventilation, gas quenching with heat exchanger, gas warning installation •
and gas humidifying
Fast cooling
•
Vacuum up to 800°C •
Water-cooled door •

New induction heating systems
At wire 2010, ATE presented two new induction heating systems to complete its
range of continuous heating systems for the parallel treatment of wires.
The new systems are called IMW and CMW.
The main feature of the IMW system is the
simultaneous heating of each wire, even
where they have different diameters, by
means of a dedicated inductor fed by the
related frequency converter.
The CMW system is instead designed for
a bundle of wires, heated using a single
inductor fed by a single frequency converter.
The advantages of these new systems over traditional
systems are in terms of efficiency, energy consumption,
quality and compactness. Applications may include
annealing, stress relieving, brass-diffusion and pre-heating
or other industrial processes requested by the end-user.
