Electrical resistance heating uses low-voltage flexible ceramic heating elements (FCP’s) placed around the weld or component in heat bands wide enough to ensure the weld area, heat affected zone, heated band width and gradient control band widths have sufficient coverage to ensure that client specific or current heat treatment code requirements are met.
Using an electric resistance heater is the most commonly utilized method in the industry due to the lower voltage and flexibility of heating elements (FCP) electrical resistance heating can give a more finite temperature profile to the parts being treated.
Axioms application and control of the electrical resistance heat treatment process ensures temperature accuracy to meet the most stringent of industry challenges and codes.
