HTS pit furnaces: air furnaces with advanced technology for heat treatment
HTS Vacuum Furnaces' pit furnaces are advanced solutions for industrial heat treatment, designed to ensure excellent temperature uniformity and operational versatility.
The cylindrical structure of pit furnaces, with heating elements evenly distributed along the height of the treatment chamber, guarantees homogeneous thermal distribution. This configuration allows components to be placed on baskets, shelves, or racks, making it easier to process parts of various sizes, including long components.
Heating can be achieved using electric resistances or high-efficiency gas burners with heat recovery.
Heat treatments in HTS pit furnaces
HTS pit furnaces are suitable for a wide range of heat treatments, including:
- Austenitization
- Carbonitriding
- Carburizing
- Stress relieving
- Aging
- Gas nitriding
- Homogenization
- Normalization
- Tempering
When combined with quenching tanks, they allow quenching processes in water, oil, or molten salts.
