Core Furnace Systems Installs Heat Treating Line for Timken
Feb. 17, 2009 Core Furnace Systems recently completed the successful start-up of a complete harden, quench and temper heat treat line in Timken’s new thermal treating facility. The new facility is located at Timken’s steel plant in Canton, Ohio.
The new CORE heat treat furnaces, which will help Timken expand its heat treat capacity, feature a “roller-barrel” design, energy efficient combustion systems, and advanced process control technology. Timken will use the furnaces to provide hardening and tempering applications for the heat treatment of steel bars and tube.
CORE’s project scope also included induction preheating, ring quench, and a custom-designed material handling system to seamlessly move the product through the heat treat process.
