The annealing process is a heat treatment method […]
Many in the metal processing industry struggle to understand the distinct annealing requirements for steel versus copper strips, leading to suboptimal results or energy waste. Using the wrong parameters can mean brittle steel, overly soft copper, poor surface finish, or even costly furnace damage. This article will delve into the critical differences and help you […]
Are you struggling to achieve that perfect, oxide-free, mirror-like finish on your metal products after annealing? Traditional methods might leave your materials dull, discolored, or requiring extensive post-processing. At AKS, we understand that achieving superior surface quality and metallurgical properties is paramount, which is why we often recommend hydrogen atmospheres for continuous bright annealing1. Hydrogen […]
Struggling to achieve a consistently bright, oxide-free finish on your metal products after annealing? Fluctuating surface quality can lead to rejects and unhappy customers. This inconsistency might be due to something as invisible as moisture in your furnace atmosphere – the dew point. Understanding and controlling dew point is key to unlocking repeatable, high-quality bright […]
Are your metal strips suffering from oxidation and losing their shine during heat treatment? This common problem often leads to additional costly cleaning steps, material loss, and ultimately, a reduction in product quality and customer satisfaction.
