These processes have similar goals: to carburize parts uniformly, and to produce a uniform quench \u2013 all with minimal part distortion. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Distortion is a term for all types of irreversible dimensional changes that occur in a workpiece. Two common types of distortion occur during the heat treatment process: size distortion and shape distortion. Total size distortion is the sum of distortions arising during the heat treatment cycle. Shape distortion is created by non-uniformity of temperature during phase transformation. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>This paper will discuss the five main reasons that distortion and cracking occur during atmosphere heat treatment and oil quenching in integral-quench batch furnaces. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It will also explore best practices for addressing these issues and refining the carburizing and quenching processes. As a result, you will be able to minimize part distortion during the atmosphere heat treatment process, all with the ultimate goal of reducing or eliminating the associated post-treatment steps and manufacturing costs associated with correcting distortion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><i><span><span>Janusz Kowalewski<\/span><\/span><\/i><span><span> , Ipsen USA, Cherry Valley, Illinois<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>Wednesday, June 6, 2018: 11:30 AM, Heritage D (Spartanburg Marriott)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span><span><span><span>Thermal Processing in Motion conference<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span>June 5-7, 2018,&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span>Spartanburg, South Carolina<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span>Learn more and register here:&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asminternational.org\/web\/thermal-processing-in-motion\/home\"><span><span>https:\/\/www.asminternational.org\/web\/thermal-processing-in-motion\/home<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carburizing and quenching are two common, and often essential, processes performed in atmosphere heat-treating systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Streamlining Atmosphere Heat Treatment: Best Practices for Minimizing Distortion &amp;
