Ajax Tocco Magnethermic shipped a bright annealing induction furnace to a major stainless steel tube manufacturer in the northeast U.S. The bright annealing system progressively heats the stainless steel tube to high temperatures in an atmosphere of inert gases and then anneals the tube in a cooling chamber to reduce the hardness of the steel in order to achieve ductility for further processing.
Special features include the ability to produce a high-quality product with a readytoship surface finish.
The equipment supplied consists of a hydrogen atmosphere heating and cooling system, utilizing an Ajax Tocco 75 kW Pacer T IGBT induction power supply.
The system is capable of processing tubing from 0.25” to 0.625” outside diameter.
Ajax Tocco is a leader in providing induction heating and processing solutions for bar and tube applications, including bright annealing. According to the company, its experience in providing this type of system was a key factor in the manufacturer’s decision to choose Ajax Tocco Magnethemic as the supplier.
