Review and Prospect of Rapid Heat Treatment Equipment
Rapid heat treatment is the treatment of metal or alloy materials under certain temperature, time and atmosphere. Heat treatment technology is commonly used in various manufacturing processes. It can improve the physical and chemical properties of the materials, so as to meet the performance requirements of the workpiece and longer service life. Rapid heat treatment refers to a kind of heat treatment technology that can quickly raise the temperature of the workpiece, change its structure and surface layer, and then quickly cool it down, which mainly includes rapid heating, rapid quenching and rapid protection treatment.
Rapid heat treatment technology has been widely used in manufacturing industry. With the rapid development of science and technology, the research and application of rapid heat treatment equipment and technology has been deeply developed. This technology is suitable for all kinds of metal materials and its parts, especially the conventional materials of low carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron and copper alloy. The technology can be applied to the processing of ultra-high temperature and ultra-low temperature results.
The emergence of rapid heat treatment equipment is the result of the times and the application of modern high-tech. It is widely used in automotive, aviation, aerospace and military industries due to its fast heating, uniform heating, high efficiency, good quality, low cost and low energy consumption.
At present, the rapid heat treatment equipment mainly includes box type resistance furnace, shuttle type resistance furnace, box type atmosphere furnace and other furnaces. These furnaces have the advantages of advanced structure design, uniform temperature field and excellent performance. In addition, various types of special protective furnaces, resistance furnaces for carburizing, nitriding and other special heat treatment processes can also be tailored according to customer requirements.
Although rapid heat treatment has many advantages. However, the rapid heating and cooling process often changes the characteristics of the material and increases its brittleness, which may lead to cracks and warping of the workpiece. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the rapid heat treatment process in order to prevent the above-mentioned defects. In addition, the importance of rapid temperature measurement and control should not be ignored because the quality of the finished product is closely related to it.
With the development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of manufacturing technology, the research and development of rapid heat treatment technology is becoming more and more mature. Different types and shapes of rapid heat treatment equipment have been developed, which provide a strong guarantee for the production and processing of workpieces. In the future, it is believed that with the help of new materials and new technologies, rapid heat treatment equipment will be more mature and comprehensive. The combination of rapid heat treatment equipment and modern production technology is of great significance for improving the production efficiency, realizing the automation of production, and obtaining high-quality products.
