FAQ
When should I choose a quench and temper system?
Choose quench and temper equipment when your process requires controlled heating followed by rapid cooling or tempering to achieve specific material properties such as hardness, strength or toughness.
What is the difference between an oil quench tank and a quench tank?
Oil quench tanks are designed for quenching processes where oil is used as the cooling medium. General quench tanks can be used for other cooling media depending on the process and material requirements.
When is a salt bath furnace suitable?
A salt bath furnace is suitable for heat treatment processes where the workload is heated in molten salt. This method can provide good heat transfer and controlled process conditions for selected applications.
Can LAC customize a quench and temper system?
Yes, quench and temper equipment can be configured as standalone units or integrated heat treatment systems according to the required process, cooling medium, workload size, handling method and control requirements.
