March 20, 2018
For heat-treating high-performance engineered parts, such as turbine components.

GRIEVE CORP. is offering a 2,000°F (1093°C), inert-atmosphere, heavy-duty furnace for heat-treating high-performance engineered parts, such as turbine components. Workspace dimensions of measure 36x60x36 in. (WxDxH.) 73 KW are installed in ICA wire coils supported by vacuum-formed ceramic fiber installed on all interior surfaces, including the door and beneath the hearth.

This furnace has a roof-mounted, heat-resisting alloy circulating fan powered by a 1-HP motor with V-belt drive, water-cooled bearings and inert-atmosphere shaft seal.  Furnace features include 9-in. thick, insulated walls comprised of 5 in. of 2,300°F ceramic fiber and 4 in. of 1,900°F block insulation; 8.5 in. floor insulation comprised of 4.5 in. of 2300°F firebrick and 4 in. of 1,900°F block insulation.

Other features include 0.25-in. plate exterior reinforced with structural steel, 0.5-in. steel face plate at the doorway, with an air-operated vertical lift door.

The inert-atmosphere construction includes a continuously welded outer shell, high-temperature door gasket, sealed heater terminal boxes, inert-atmosphere inlet, inert-atmosphere outlet, inert-atmosphere flow meter, and a manual gas valve.

Controls for this design include a digital programming temperature controller, a manual reset excess temperature controller with separate contactors, paperless event recorder, and SCR power controller.
