Duncan Aviation has expanded and reorganized its parts manufacturing and fabrication areas into a new company division called Duncan Manufacturing Solutions (DMS).

A U.S.-based manufacturer of microwave components needed precision heating to anneal parts before milling. To meet the heating demand, Lucifer Furnaces designed a small box furnace with a maximum temperature of 2300°F (1260°C).

Thermal-Vac Technology partnered with Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems to add precision gas nitriding and FNC capabilities at its facility in Orange, Calif. Gasbarre will supply an electrically heated furnace that is capable of processing workloads that weigh up to 7,000 lb.

A dual-chamber furnace will allow a Midwest company to heat treat small tool-steel parts in-house in a timely manner. The upper hardening chamber is rated up to 2200°F (1205°C), while the lower convection oven tempers up to 1200°F (650°C).

The 400°F (204°C) electrically heated shelf oven can be used for heat treating parts. Installed heat input is 15 KW while a 1000-cfm, 1-hp blower provides side-to-side horizontal airflow to the workload.

A manufacturer is utilizing a 400°F (204°C) electrically heated shelf oven for heat treating parts at its facility. Supplied by Grieve, the shelf oven includes 15 kW elements installed for heat input. A 1,000-cfm, 1-hp blower provides side-to-side horizontal airflow to the workload. 

Lindberg/MPH shipped two electrically heated pit furnaces to the automotive industry. The nitrogen atmosphere furnaces, which will be used to heat treat automotive parts, utilize high velocity forced convection heating systems inside an atmosphere-tight retort chamber. They have a maximum operating temperature of 1250°F (677°C) and a maximum load gross weight of 10,000 lb.

An automotive supplier will use a two-zone conveyor oven to stress relieve automotive springs. The natural-gas-fired unit, supplied by Wisconsin Oven Corp., has the design capacity to heat approximately 11,000 lb of springs per hour.

R. Hueter Co. of Beverly, Mass., installed a heat-treating oven from Lucifer Furnaces.

Two continuous conveyor ovens will be used by a manufacturer of specialty hose clamps to heat treat various hose clamps up to 350°F (177°C).
