CEC is strong in our capacity for Integral Quench (IQ) furnaces and related heat treatment processes. Our IQ furnaces can be fitted for many heat treatment processes including:

• Carburizing
• Ferritic Nitrocarburizing
• Neutral Hardening
• Carbonitriding
• Annealing (Bright)
• Stress Relieving
• Carbon Restoration

Our furnaces are heavy-duty and atmosphere tight. The non-drive prechamber is loaded by pusher from the load side and by a back push-pull drive from the heat chamber. These furnaces can have many features, including:

• Round or rectangular heating chambers that are gas or electric heated
• Heat Chamber contains alloy circulating fans for atmosphere uniformity
• Heavy-duty alloy rollers, rails, muffles are built CEC tough
• Fail safe Nitrogen purge for atmosphere loss of seal
• Sophisticated to assure safe operation and desired automation
• Full load, unload and quench automation with transfer cars or gantry cranes
• Large capacity heated and cooled Quench tanks with programmable agitation speed
• Integrated separate Tempering furnaces
• Generators and gas control for Endo, Exo, N-Methanol, N, Ammonia atmospheres
• Conventional or Vacuum Washers with Alkylene and water Tanks
• Companion Freezers for Martensite conversion

These furnaces come in a variety of standard sizes. We can send you a quote and literature on our broad line of offered standard products. CEC IQ furnaces are called “Flexcase” (FC) and are followed in our sizing standards with the width x length x height in inches. Therefore, the FC 243624 has a 24” x 36” x 24” workload chamber. Companion Quench, Temper, Washer and Transfer Cars machines are also applied in standard formats.
