Global
Leader for Heat Treatment Assembly Jigs
AFE Cronite Technologies is
the global leader for the design and production of heat
treatment furnace equipment and holding jigs with over 10,000
furnaces utilising its systems around the world.
Its solutions are adapted to
heat treatment furnace loading based on:
-
Standard
systems optimized for the most common furnaces installed
in the United States (base trays, props, cross beams,
grates, spacers, baskets, stackable frames, etc.)
-
Systems designed
to meet component treatment and handling specifications.
Objectives
To continually work towards
optimising cast part protection, increase useful loads,
reduce reject rates, identify automation possibilities,
and control distortions to increase service life.
In order to implement its solutions,
AFE Cronite Technologies uses a wide range of processes
and materials: graphite castings, CFC with special coatings,
cast or centrifuged Nickel Chromium alloy components, and
specific alloys for machine-welded parts.
Major parts produced:
Research
& Development
Continuous research
of alloys and materials suited to the heat treatment processes
of our customers. Our design offices are equipped with 3D
CAD systems providing the ability to simulate mechanical
constraints at temperature and to enable rapid CNC machining
of patterns.
The design
objectives:
-
Reduce the
weight of support to :
- Increase productivity
- Reduce fixture cost
- Reduce cost of energy to heat
-
Optimization
of parts treated in respect of constraints of heat treatment
-
Consider
means of loading (manual or robotic)
-
Take account
of customers production flow
Baskets
Multiple combinations adapted
to every type of furnace |
Grid basket
Stackable basket
CFC basket
|
AFE Cronite Technologies
offers baskets assembled from castings and fitted with
grids according to need. The dimensions of these baskets
are compatible with most existing chamber furnaces.
They may be used with or without a base tray depending
on the situation.
The different available heights allow
many different combinations depending on the parts to
be treated and the maximum space available in the chamber.
Aside from the standard alloy - 38%Ni
+ 18%Cr + Nb - appropriate for gaseous case hardening
and oil quenching, other alloys can be suggested for
special applications in case of heavy loads, substantial
quenching depths, vacuum treatments at high temperature
and with or without gas quenching.
Baskets with the same design can be
provided with or without an integrated base tray for
case hardening in pusher-type furnaces.
Simpler baskets of the container type
are also available for continuous isothermal furnaces
and for annealing furnaces.
There are also round baskets for use
in multifunction furnaces and well furnaces.

Base Trays
Solutions adapted to customer
needs |
Stackable base trays
Stackable base trays
|
AFE Cronite
Technologies designs and produces many different base
tray models, adapted to virtually all heat treatment
furnaces:
- pusher-type furnaces
- chamber furnaces
- well furnaces
- rocker bar furnaces
Cast refractory alloys, thanks to their
properties which include dimensional stability and very
high resistance to heat deformation, are particularly
well-adapted to severe utilisation constraints.
The models on offer at AFE Cronite Technologies
exist in a standard format. However, new base tray designs
can be studied and developed for special uses.

Loading Systems
Over 40 years of experience
in the Heat Treatment field |
Axis mount
Mounting solution example
|
AFE Cronite
Technologies has a large database that capitalises on
over 40 years of experience in the heat treatment field.
Its objective is to determine the right
treatment for the job in the most cost-effective manner;
its design offices have many standard parts and can
develop specific individual components and treatments.
Each study is conducted jointly with
the customer in search of:
- A good net weight/gross
weight ratio
- Proper circulation
of treatment, quenching, and washing fluids
- Minimum casting distortion

AFE Cronite
Technologies can provide miscellaneous refractory alloy
furnace components including CFC or graphite materials
as well as die cast, machine welded, centrifuge cast,
etc.
These parts can either be specification
designed or produced from standard designs like for
example:
- rails
- rollers
- mixing turbines
- radiant tubes
- regenerators
- supports

Low pressure case hardening furnace
Mancellium jigs
|
AFE Cronite
Technologies has been supplying nickel aluminium alloy
parts since 1998 under the patented trade name: Mancellium™.
This term was coined from Mancelle de Fonderie, a pioneering
European company in the nickel aluminide industry.
In view of the experience acquired,
Mancellium™ is a highly cost-effective material
for producing dies utilised for low pressure case hardening.
Its properties include good high temperature
strength thanks to the structural hardening of the Ni3Al
type compounds, as well as exceptional resistance to
corrosion and recarburisation due to the formation of
combined layers of chromium and aluminium oxides.
