Annealing – Tube furnace

This high temperature tube furnace allows for accurate simulation of industrial annealing cycles with accurate computer control of the thermal cycle.

For example:

  • Decarburisation annealing 
  • Batch annealing simulation of steel
  • Flattening annealing
  • Nitriding
  • Annealing under reducing atmosphere (e.g. 100 % H2)
