Aluminium Homogenizing Furnace
Homogenizing furnace is typically used for heat treatment of aluminum billet after casting process, it aims at eliminating residual stress produced during casting and improving metallurgical results. It is a crucial unit for enhancing the quality of aluminum profiles. After being homogenized, internal elements of aluminum billet (e.g. Mg2Si and Fe) are consistent. The homogenizing process features less mold consumption and improved surface quality of billet. A full set of homogenizing furnace consists of homogenization chamber, changing machine (transfer car) and cooling chamber. In the homogenizing furnace, aluminum billet will be heated up to 570℃(±5℃) or process required temperature, then cooled rapidly within a short period, ensuring efficient homogenizing for aluminum billets.
The life of pot ( cast iron or silicon carbide) which we use in these furnaces also increases as in oil fired furnaces, the pressure of blower remains on one side & as a result, the pot use to break from that particular side. But in our furnaces, there is uniform temperature due to which the life of pot increases & hence results in more & more saving. It is all automatically temperature control furnace which helps to operate the furnace in peaceful manner.
