Custom Annealing Oven & Annealing Furnace

Annealing Furnace & Oven
Annealing Oven and Annealing Furnace systems are essential tools in the metal heat treatment process, helping to improve ductility, reduce hardness, and relieve internal stresses in various metals. Whether you’re working with fine wire or heavy steel parts, choosing the right type of annealing equipment is crucial for performance, energy efficiency, and long-term product quality.

What Is the Difference Between an Annealing Oven and Annealing Furnace?

  • While both perform the same heat treatment function, the terms describe slightly different systems:

  • Annealing Oven typically refers to lower-temperature, lighter-duty heating systems used for small parts, wire coils, or laboratory applications.

  • Annealing Furnace is generally larger and designed for higher-temperature, heavy-duty industrial applications involving steel, stainless steel, or alloy components.

  • Both systems are used for metal softening, stress relief, and microstructure refinement, and can be configured for batch or continuous operation.

Types of Annealing Furnaces and Ovens.

  • Wire Annealing Furnace

    Designed specifically for copper, aluminum, or steel wire coils, a Wire Annealing Furnace uses controlled heating and cooling cycles to reduce brittleness and improve elongation. These systems are available in vertical and horizontal designs and often feature inert gas atmospheres to prevent oxidation.

  • Continuous Annealing Furnace

    A Continuous Annealing Furnace enables nonstop, high-volume heat treatment of strip steel, wires, or tubing. Materials pass through preheating, soaking, and cooling zones on a moving conveyor or roller hearth. Ideal for high-throughput manufacturing, it reduces downtime and improves thermal consistency.

  • Custom Annealing Oven

    Custom Annealing Ovens are engineered to meet unique customer requirements in terms of chamber size, heating zones, airflow design, and automation level. These are perfect for R&D labs, aerospace, medical device production, and any application requiring precise temperature control and uniformity.

  • Gas Fired Annealing Furnace

    For high-temperature and energy-intensive applications, a Gas Fired Annealing Furnace offers excellent heating efficiency and fuel cost advantages. Using natural gas or propane burners, these furnaces are best suited for heavy-duty batch annealing, particularly in steel mills and forging industries.
