Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention provides an improved heat treatment method and equipment for mass processing of components by introducing focused high intensity infrared heating to components on a conveyorized system for maximizing the throughput of heat treated components wherein Infrared heating facilitates rapid heat transfer to the targeted object and is capable of deep penetration in material bodies therefore further contributing to thermal efficiency. Accordingly, the equipment designed for heat treatment process comprises a chain conveyor with an adaptation to host a pallet thereon. The equipment includes a heating oven configured to automatically receive the pallet and is positioned with a component being heat treated. The heating oven includes a plurality of infrared emitters and auxiliary parts positioned therein. The heating oven includes two sets of emitters m

Abstract

Disclosed is heat treatment equipment and process that facilitates heat treatment process by introducing focused high intensity infrared heating to components on a conveyorized system for maximizing the throughput of heat treated components.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of thermal processing or heat treating of parts and components made out of several materials for industrial and non-industrial use to achieve an objective such as pre-heating, stress relieving, hardening, softening, wear resistance, expansion shrink-fit and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved heat treatment method and equipment for mass processing of components and / or assembly of components thereby offering a high productivity and energy efficiency.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Induction hardening or softening is one such widely used conventional heat treatment process that is most commonly applied to ferrous or metallic components with the objective of changing the surface properties of the component thereby enhancing wear, friction and fatigue resistance of the same. Common components include axles, gears, spindles, shafts, cam lobes, stamping, etc.[0003]Typically, the i...
