Processes Performed by Despatch Ovens and Furnaces:
Despatch has a wide range of ovens and furnaces that are available for curing, powder coating, dehydrating, drying, heat shrinking, pre-heating, testing and many other thermal processing applications, including:
Annealing: a heat treatment process used mostly to increase the ductility and reduce the hardness of a material. It is most commonly used for treating metals, but other materials, including glass and plastics can also be annealed.
During the annealing process the metal, plastic or glass is heated to a specific temperature or color and then the material is cooled at a controlled, specified rate. This process changes the physical and chemical properties of the material to make it more malleable or improve ductility; providing stress relief and creating a new microstructure.
Heat treating: the heating and cooling of metals and alloys to achieve a desired physical and mechanical property such as strength, hardness, and resistance to fatigue or failure.
Choosing a Despatch oven or furnace will ensure you that temperature uniformity will be well within specification. Despatch ovens feature high-velocity uniflow airflow, meaning that the air moves both horizontally and vertically, offering exceptional temperature uniformity. Adjustable louvers direct heated air for a precise airflow pattern suited to specific parts.
Stress Relieving: reduces internal stresses caused by cold working or non-uniform cooling.
Aging: also referred to as precipitation hardening increases the hardness and strength of metal alloys. Both timing and temperature are critical during the hardening process. Uneven heating can create cracks and other defects, often starting from the corners or edges of the material.
Tempering: a process used to reduce the brittleness and increase the tensile strength of metal alloys after hardening.
Coatings: Once cured, the powder coating creates a tough, durable finish that is generally harder and stronger than any conventional paint finish.
