HEAT TREATMENT STUDIES
The following list provides an overview of Touchstone’s capabilities in heat treatment:
Capable of temperatures to 18000 F (10000 C), these versatile furnaces are used for heating gas, liquids, and small solid samples. Touchstone utilizes them as part of numerous laboratory-scale manufacturing process development efforts.
Related to the tube furnaces, Touchstone a gas heating furnace designed to provide outlet gas temperatures at over 10000 C. This has been successfully used to pre-heat shield gasses reducing the traditional cooling effect of shield gasses. Enough heat is generated in the gas to melt various solders and brazes.
