A Guide to Thermcraft Electric Heater Plates

Electric heater plates are ceramic heating elements used in the manufacture of industrial ovens and furnaces. They are simultaneously designed to heat the internal chamber of an oven with good uniformity, while insulating the sensitive mechanics and the exterior of industrial equipment. This is achieved by combining high-strength metal wiring with thermally-efficient ceramic materials, enabling ...

What is a Tempering Furnace?

A tempering furnace is a type of industrial oven designed to heat treat a ferrous metal product and increase its toughness. In metallurgical terms, the toughness of an alloy describes its capacity for elastic deformation and energy absorption before the material fractures. It is part of a complex relationship between a metal’s ductility and its strength, with high toughness values requiring ...
