Localized heat treatments


If the piece is not treatable in the furnace, it’s possible to isolate a specific area and propagate the heat through electric heaters. An equipment modulates the flow of electricity to be sent to the resistors and records the temperatures obtained.

Advantages:

With this methodology it’s possible to avoid disassembly of components for which removal may present difficulties, and to treat welds while still in work.

Disadvantages:

It’s a much more complex method, and the timing and feasibility are not always favorable.
