Ipsen USA, Cherry Valley, Ill., announces that Hansen-Balk Steel Treating has purchased Ipsen’s first Titan Temper vacuum furnace. It was designed as a dedicated batch furnace for tempering, aging, annealing, and stress relieving, and Hansen-Balk’s tool and die applications were factored into the furnace’s testing. The low-temperature furnace incorporates shared data from both companies.
The Titan T true vacuum temper furnace combines cleanliness and efficiency through the use of both vacuum and convection heating. Bright tempering of sensitive alloys such as PH 17-4 (X5CrNiCuNb 16-4), Inconel 718, and 420 stainless steel (X42Cr13) have been proven through system testing. The standard furnace comes with graphite heating elements, stainless steel shielding, and a graphite hearth.
This large commercial heat treater works in the tool and die industry, and has been instrumental in the refinement of the Titan T and its ability to deliver top-quality tempering results.
