 FocusOn: Air Circulation Furnace
Nabertherm's N 150/02 CDB electrically heated air circulation furnace is designed for the catalytic debinding of PIM. The polyoxymethylene of the binder is removed from the green compact and chemically decomposed under the influence of the nitric acid. Nitrogen carrier gas removes exhaust and is burnt by the gas-heated exhaust torch.
Unsurpassed safety features include safety control via the PLC with automatic chamber purge in the event of any atmosphere leakage or system failure, door sealing with a monitored nitrogen atmosphere, and an automatic double-locking door, as well as redundant flow controllers for automatic gas supply.
For more information, call (302) 322-3665, e-mail contact@nabertherm-usa.com or visit www.nabertherm.com.

Making the Cut
If you ask a production engineer in the ceramic industry about the best choice of cutting tools for machining ceramic, it's likely that materials such as carbide, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and diamond-like coatings will make the list. But consider that production engineers in other industries actually turn to ceramic for its use as a cutting tool material. In fact, today's ceramics are used to machine some of industry's most difficult-to-cut materials while still offering productivity gains. Learn more in
