The Science Behind Aging Furnaces for Strengthening Metals

 When metals are aged, they are weakened and rendered useless. But did you know there’s a cool machine that can make old metals stronger again? Between us, at Boqiao, we deploy aging furnaces to assist in giving metals strength, for uses including buildings, cars and machines.

​

Interpreting the Temperature Dependence of Metal Ageing

When we heat metals up in a furnace, something pretty cool happens. This is because the metal strengthens as it ages. The temperature inside the furnace makes a big difference, as it helps the metal make the correct change. If the temperature is too high or too low, the metal won’t get stronger the way it’s supposed to.

Heating and Cooling Up to Make Metal Stronger

The metal is heated and cooled in the furnace. That’s what it heats up to before it starts cooling again. Those aluminium melting crucible help the metal get stronger, the same way you work out to make your muscles stronger. The heating and cooling makes the metal stiffer so it can do more work without breaking.

MICROSTRUCTURAL CHANGES IN AGED METALS

The metal undergoes microstructure changes in the furnace. This is because the little pieces of the metal shift so that they are actually stronger. Well, not at all roommates are like that! The crucible smelting into a more crystalline and stronger form, which means it will last a long time without aging and weakening.

Significance of the Furnace Atmosphere for Strength of Metal

The air in the furnace is also crucial for strengthening the metal. We can control the air to ensure the inductotherm furnace is too much oxygen, that can make a metal rust and become weak. But under the right conditions, if the air is just right, it can introduce even more strength and durability to the metal.

Making Added Use of Old Furnaces for Better Metals

At Boqiao, we have aging furnaces to ensure the metal we’re working with is in the best condition possible. With the correct temperature, heat and cooling cycles, and the right air, we can act as midwives for the metal, ushering in a new and stronger life for the piece. That is to say, the buildings, cars, machines etc, fashioned from the strong metals we create will be safer and more reliable for everyone to use.

So the conclusion is that aging furnaces are highly significant for strengthening metals for various usages. We can obtain the best quality of metals for what we manufactured in Boqiao, through the exploring for the how to function the temperature, heating and cooling cycle, change of structure under the good atmosphere. With a little help from aging furnaces, we can continue to supply robust and reliable metals that best serve the world and make it safer and happier for all who live in it.
