Maudlin Products SSFW309-20-100 tool wrap is used for the surface protection of tools, dies and parts during heat-treating applications by preventing decarburisation or scaling.
Working Mechanism:
- The tool is placed in an envelope formed by folding a foil sheet in half and sealing the open ends to keep out the surrounding air.
- The foil sheet should be double the size of the part.
- Provide an additional 3-inch wrap on all sides for folding over and crimping the edges.
- Ensure a tight seal to avoid decarburisation.
Features:
- Maudlin Products SSFW309-20-100 tool wrap creates an airtight envelope around the tool to be heated to form an airtight seal.
- This wrap prevents oxide build-up during atmospheric furnace heat treatment.
- It protects the surface of air-hardening steels.
- This 309 stainless steel tool wrap resists chromium carbide precipitation.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the highest temperature this wrap can withstand?
A. 2100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q. What is decarburisation?
A. Decarburisation is the loss of carbon in the material's surface-adjacent zone. When the metal heats to 700 degrees Celcius or higher, the carbon in the metal reacts with gases containing oxygen or hydrogen. The removal of carbon softens the metal by removing hard carbide phases.
Q. How to ensure safety during heat treatment procedures?
A. The workers should always wear protective gloves. These gloves are beneficial in avoiding cuts from the sharp edges of the tools and burns from the foil.
