Decarburization-free and soot-free batch-annealing with automated atmosphere

$15.00

RAD-CON, Inc., is presenting results from leading edge technology that accurately controls atmosphere for sub-critical annealing of drawn wire and wire rod. The paper presents the benefits of this new control technology over traditional open loop control systems that use fixed-flow strategies. Results from production systems will be presented that show the ability to prevent decarburization and sooting, as well as to reduce cycle times.
