Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic to deliver two large heat-treating quench and temper lines

Warren, Ohio-based Ajax TOCCO Magnethermic® has announced the delivery of two large induction heat-treating quench and temper lines to facilities in the U.S. Both pipe heat-treating lines process upset tubing inline through multifrequency scheming technology at a rate of 15 to 20 tons/hr.

These systems incorporate the company’s water sleeve quenching design, using high-volume precision barrels to accomplish uniform metallurgical grain structures, as required by API-certified tube and pipe. To maintain uniformity for API requirements, the systems incorporate a slow-feeding, rotating cooling bed at the exit of the tempering zone to ensure straightness after heat processing.
