Combustion Heating
The RCR Heat Treatment High Velocity Gas Burner (HVG) equipment consists of high output, fully adjustable units ranging between 100,000 and 8,000,000 Btu per hour. The turndown ratio is extremely high at approximately 100:1, a feature which gives complete and accurate temperature control at all stages of the process.
Electrical Resistance
RCR Heat Treatment has a wide range of electrical resistance heating equipment. This option is suited to all on-site heat treatment requirements including refractory dry out requirements.
Wireless Technology
RCR Heat Treatment has the latest technology in wireless remote monitoring and control equipment. Our systems offer electronic data capture and storage, particularly suited to large projects and shut down work.
Water Quenching
This process is the rapid cooling of a work piece in water to obtain certain material properties. This is applied after high temperature soaking to produce the final desired crystal structure in the metal.
Induction Heating – Hardening
Induction is a non-contact electrical process allowing rapid heating of the surface of steels. This can be used for surface hardening or simply as an efficient heating method for preheats and fitting of components.
Carburising and Controlled Atmosphere Hardening
Controlled atmosphere heat treatment is used on finished or semi-finished product to avoid high temperature oxidation and scale or to impregnate the surface with hardening elements.
Normalising, Annealing and Solutionising
Normalising is a process that is used to improve the grain structure and make a metal more ductile after it has been exposed to thermal or mechanical hardening processes.
Pre-Heat
The purpose of preheating prior and during the welding process is to assist with hydrogen diffusion from the weld and heat-affected zone (HAZ). It also slows down the cooling rate from the welding, this is necessary to avoid cracking.
