Overview
In-line Bright Annealing Equipment is mainly used to in-line anneal AISI 300 and AISI 400 stainless steel pipe. The annealing process is completed under a controlled atmosphere (Pure Hydrogen) in order to assure the brightness of the surface and to re-gain the natural hardness of the material before forming and welding. Tube straightening is not required after the process.
The pipe is heated to a temperature of approximately 1,200˚C and is then conduction-cooled so that large volumes of gas are not made to circulate. The equipment is supplied complete with gas management system, inductor, cooling tunnel, mobile support, equipment cooling system, temperature control system and control panel.
