HEAT TREATMENT STUDIES

Continuous Annealing Furnace

Touchstone developed a furnace which replicates the fast heat up and cooling rates of a continuous annealing furnace such as those used in the steel and aluminum industries. This furnace is small, sits on a bench top and operates in a batch mode.

It is capable of very fast heating and cooling rates. It can be operated with a controlled atmosphere. The furnace has a maximum temperature of above 1,000 deg C (1,832 deg F).
