Heat Treatment Methods with the Bench Top Heat Treating Furnace

For applications where precision and consistency are key, heat treatment processes such as annealing and tempering are essential for improving the mechanical properties of metals and alloys.

The Brother Furnace’s benchtop heat-treating furnace, a compact box furnace, is the perfect solution for small-scale and laboratory heat treatment needs. Here’s how this advanced furnace can optimize your heat treatment processes.

Annealing: Stress Relief and Microstructure Enhancement

Annealing is commonly used to relieve internal stresses, soften materials, and improve ductility.

The bench-top heat-treating furnace ensures that the annealing process is performed with excellent temperature uniformity and precise control over the heating and cooling cycles. This is critical for achieving uniform microstructure and improving material properties, particularly in materials like steel, aluminum, and copper alloys.

● Uniform Heat Distribution: The box furnace design provides even temperature control throughout the chamber, ensuring that materials receive consistent heat for optimal results.

● Precise Control: The furnace allows you to set the exact temperature and soak time, providing you with full control over the annealing process.

Tempering: Balancing Hardness and Toughness

After hardening a material to increase its hardness, tempering is essential for reducing brittleness and achieving the right balance between hardness and toughness.

The Brother Furnace’s benchtop heat-treating furnace excels at maintaining the specific temperatures needed for tempering operations, ensuring that materials are treated effectively without compromising their mechanical properties.

● Accurate Temperature Regulation: With its precise control capabilities, the furnace ensures that materials are tempered to the exact specification, making them tougher and more resistant to cracking.

● Flexible Process Control: Whether you need to temper steel, tool steels, or other alloys, the furnace allows you to adjust the temperature and time to meet the desired results.
