The high carbon potential penetrates the steel surface at a rate up to 30% faster, saving time and money while producing higher quality parts. The system can be added to existing furnaces or built into a furnace at the time of manufacture. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the speed at a higher carbon potential at high temperatures, the atmosphere will also penetrate lower-grade steels at lower temperatures without using ammonia to raise the hardness (HRC).&nbsp; The air\/gas mix is cracked in a retort outside the furnace to form the atmosphere, and is heated at the same high temperature of 1825\u00b0F before entry into the furnace.&nbsp; In this manner, the low furnace temperature does not hinder the reaction that must take place in the furnace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-weight: 400;\">Soot control takes place simultaneously while the carburizing cycle is in operation; therefore, no time is lost to clean soot from the furnace, instead of taking furnace time to remove soot and clean the furnace, loads can be run instead.&nbsp; Time is money and soot burnout takes time.&nbsp; Because less time is required per load, less gas and power is wasted, resulting in more cost savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heavycarbon.com\/\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em;\">www.heavycarbon.com<\/a><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Heavy Carbon Company, Pittsford, Mich., announces that its president, George Barbour, has been awarded a patent for &#8220;A method of carburizing which allows a carburizing process in a furnace at high temperatures in a protective atmosphere.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63082,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[439,440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
