The investment totals over $1.8 million, including additional utilities and installation. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>The goal of the massive quench system is to be able to quench larger batches of power-generation castings by increasing the cooling rate and eliminating the supplemental use of helium and operating in 100% argon, which has proved successful in operation. The furnace incorporates Solar Manufacturing\u2019s latest SolarVac 5000 control system, which allows for complete process automation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>The furnace is designed to quench with argon at 10 bar, while utilizing a 600-horsepower motor running at 460 volts from a variable speed drive, and rear head movable gas baffle doors. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>\u201cThis furnace is a real game changer,\u201d says Solar\u2019s Director of Sales Mike Moyer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>For general purpose heat treating, pictured are two Leadar Roll Inc., 2200-pound rolls, 4400 pounds total, heated to 2150\u00b0F and quenched in 10-bar nitrogen and then tempered at 1000\u00b0F.
