Linde LLC will showcase advanced gas control technologies and engineering services for heat treatment furnaces at Heat Treat 2015 in Detroit, Michigan, October 20-22. One technological advancement being featured is the HYDROFLEX® Atmosphere Control System for more reliable oxide-free annealing.
Oxide-Free Parts Annealing
The HYDROFLEX® atmosphere control system offers a universal solution for clean and bright oxide-free annealing of stainless steel, steel, copper, bronze or brass, with high reliability and potential for repetition. One or more carrier gases (nitrogen or argon) maintain the furnace pressure while a controlled ratio of hydrogen helps prevent oxidation. With the HYDROFLEX technology, many annealing tasks can be completed with non-flammable gas mixtures containing less than 5 percent hydrogen.
Linde provides industry-leading solutions for heat treatment and the ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy industries, ranging from gases and equipment to process consulting and services.
