Box Type Tempering Furnace Applications: Industries & Suitable Workpiece Materials

The box type tempering furnace is a multi-functional universal heat treatment equipment, which can adapt to multiple industries and various metal materials. Many buyers only focus on equipment parameters but ignore the matching degree between equipment and their own workpieces. This article elaborates on applicable industries and metal materials of box tempering furnaces to help buyers make accurate matching.

1. Main Application Industries

Mold Manufacturing Industry: It is the most widely used scenario, mainly used for tempering of injection molds, stamping molds and die-casting molds to eliminate quenching stress and prevent mold cracking and deformation.

Hardware Machinery Industry: Applied to tempering of bolts, gears, cutting tools, spring parts and other standard hardware accessories to adjust workpiece hardness and improve wear resistance.

Automotive Parts Industry: Suitable for heat treatment of automotive engine parts, brake accessories and chassis metal parts to enhance part stability and service life.

Aerospace & Precision Parts: High-precision box type tempering furnaces are used for tempering of aviation aluminum alloy parts and precision stainless steel components with strict quality requirements.

Electronics Industry: Low-temperature tempering for electronic metal connectors and small precision hardware to remove processing stress.

2. Applicable Metal Workpiece Materials

Carbon Steel & Alloy Steel: Medium and high-temperature tempering at 400℃-650℃, suitable for gears, shafts and cutting tool parts.

Die Steel: Staged tempering process at 500℃-600℃ to ensure high hardness and impact resistance of molds.

Aluminum & Copper Alloy: Low-temperature stress relief tempering at 150℃-300℃ to avoid workpiece deformation and improve surface flatness.

Stainless Steel: Special constant-temperature tempering to optimize internal metal structure and enhance corrosion resistance.

3. Inapplicable Production Scenarios

Box type tempering furnaces are not suitable for ultra-large integral workpieces and ultra-high temperature tempering above 700℃. For such special scenarios, we recommend customized industrial high-temperature furnaces and bell furnaces according to demands.

Conclusion

The versatile box type tempering furnace can cover more than 90% of conventional metal tempering demands in the machinery manufacturing industry.
