Endothermic Process and Heat Treatment Furnaces – CO and CO₂ Control Considerations
Endothermic process and heat treatments are essential for ensuring high-quality metal and alloy products. Endothermic gas (CO/H₂/N₂) is often used as a ‘neutral’ protective gas or carrier gas during heat treatment process. Monitoring and controlling the furnace gas composition is essential to ensure metallic products retain their desired properties. This article outlines why CO and CO₂ …
