Heat treat furnace baskets are specialized loading and transfer fixtures used in industrial heat treatment processes. They are primarily designed for various high-temperature heat treatment applications, with the core purpose of securely holding workpieces, ensuring process effectiveness, and improving production efficiency. Specific benefits include:
Handling irregularly shaped, heavy, or easily deformed workpieces:
For irregularly shaped and heavy workpieces such as shafts, gears, molds, large castings, and thick-walled pipes, the frame structure of the baskets provides stable support, preventing tipping and collision during heating and transfer. This helps avoid workpiece deformation, surface scratches, or dimensional deviations. For thin-walled precision workpieces, internal partitions and dividers can be customized to further secure workpiece positioning.
Ensuring uniformity and efficiency of the quenching process
During quenching, heat treat furnace baskets can be lifted as a whole into the quenching tank or oil bath, allowing all workpieces in the basket to be immersed in the cooling medium simultaneously and uniformly. This ensures consistent cooling rates across all workpieces, improving hardness uniformity after quenching and reducing the risk of cracking. This feature is widely used in the batch heat treatment of automotive components and engineering machinery parts.
Adaptability to special heat treatment environments
Manufactured from heat-resistant steels such as Cr25Ni20 and 310S stainless steel, the baskets can withstand high temperatures exceeding 1000 °C. They can be directly used in box furnaces, pit furnaces, salt bath furnaces, carburizing and nitriding furnaces, and other systems, meeting the requirements of special processes such as solution treatment, carburizing and quenching, and high-temperature tempering. Their excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance ensures a long service life.
Improving turnaround efficiency in mass production
The baskets can be integrated with hoists and robotic arms on production lines, enabling mechanized transfer throughout the entire process-from loading into baskets, furnace entry and exit, quenching, to tempering. This reduces manual handling, lowers labor intensity, and maximizes furnace space utilization, making them ideal for large-scale, standardized heat treatment production lines.
