Hot Stamping Furnace and Press Hardening Furnace
Hot stamping press hardening furnaces are both designed to provide heat treatment for metal parts. Heat treatment is a process that involves heating and cooling metal in order to alter its physical and mechanical properties. This process can be used to harden metals, make them more ductile or malleable, and improve their resistance to wear and corrosion.
Hot stamping press hardening furnaces, on the other hand, are specifically designed for the hot stamping process used in the automotive industry to manufacture high-strength, lightweight parts. This process involves heating a sheet of steel to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it in a press. The result is a part with high strength and improved crash performance.
Function
It provides controlled heating and cooling cycles to achieve desired material properties.
Configuration
The furnaces are typically designed as batch or continuous flow systems, depending on the production requirements.
Features
Features can include programmable temperature controllers, quench tanks, and automated material handling systems.
Temperature Range
The furnaces can typically achieve temperatures ranging as per the process requirement.
Heating Rate
The heating rate of the furnace is adjustable, with options for ramp and soak programming.
Capacity
The capacity of the furnace can range from small batch sizes to large continuous flow systems, depending on the specific application.
Heat Source
The heating sources are electric-fired or gas-fired burners.
Power Requirement
The power requirements for the furnaces can vary depending on the size and configuration of the system, as well as the heat source used.
Atmosphere
The furnaces can be designed to operate in air, inert gas, or vacuum atmospheres, depending on the material being heat treated.
