For high strength metal parts, the Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief Oven removes the Hydrogen infused during the cleaning and plating process.
This space saving hydrogen embrittlement oven is a complete heating and cooling cell.
Exposure to hydrogen causes various metals, most importantly steel, to become brittle and crack. This can cause a decrease in the metal's tensile strength. Typically for high strength metal parts, the Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief Oven removes the Hydrogen infused during the cleaning and plating process.
The Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief Oven is available in either a Batch Oven or Continuous Conveyor configuration. In the continuous process, batched parts travel through the heating chamber in individual bucket carriers so that different type parts remain separated. Pneumatic vibration is incorporated at the off load station to ensure all parts are discharged from the bucket.
