    Glossary

    1
    Industrial furnace
    An insulated chamber or system that heats materials to controlled temperatures for melting, sintering, annealing or other thermal treatment; THERMPROCESS exhibitors cover chamber, continuous, induction and arc furnace designs.
    2
    Heat treatment
    Controlled heating and cooling of metal parts to alter hardness, strength or microstructure, including annealing, quenching, tempering and case hardening.
    3
    Burner and combustion system
    Equipment that mixes fuel and oxidant to produce a controlled flame; industrial burners for furnaces are a core THERMPROCESS product group, increasingly designed for hydrogen blends and low NOx operation.
    4
    Controlled atmosphere
    A gas mixture inside a furnace that prevents oxidation or adds elements such as carbon or nitrogen to the metal surface during processing.
    5
    Quenching
    Rapid cooling of a heated metal part in oil, water, polymer or gas to lock in a desired microstructure; quench tanks and gas quenching systems are shown at the fair.
    6
    Annealing
    A heat-treatment cycle that softens metal, relieves internal stress or refines grain structure by controlled heating and slow cooling.
    7
    Carburizing
    A case-hardening process that diffuses carbon into the surface of low-carbon steel at high temperature to create a hard wear-resistant layer.
    8
    Refractory
    Heat-resistant ceramic or composite lining material that protects furnace shells, ladles and kilns from high temperature, slag and thermal shock.
    9
    Recuperator and waste heat recovery
    A heat exchanger that captures heat from furnace exhaust gas to preheat combustion air or feedstock, improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions.
    10
    Induction heating
    A non-contact heating method using alternating magnetic fields to heat conductive workpieces or crucibles; used in melting, forging and surface hardening.
    11
    Sintering
    A thermal process that bonds powder particles into a solid part below melting point, central to powder metallurgy and advanced materials.
    12
    Pyrolysis
    Thermal decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen, used in recycling and waste-to-resource processes.
