   How can I benefit from a nitrogen-based system if I’m already getting good parts at a reasonably low cost?
    (Our Answer...)
   Can we conserve energy and increase savings by converting to a synthetic nitrogen/hydrogen atmosphere?
    (Our Answer...)
   How can I address a cooling issue within my process?
    (Our Answer...)
   Can I determine if the oxidation in the cooling section of my continuous furnace is caused by air ingress or a water leak?
    (Our Answer...)
   How can we minimize infiltration of oxygen into open-ended continuous furnaces?
    (Our Answer...)
   Can I remotely monitor what’s happening in my furnaces and other process equipment while I’m away from my plant?
    (Our Answer...)
   How can I provide customer documentation proving my heat treat process was controlled while treating their products?
    (Our Answer...)
   How can I reduce my costs for Al-annealing without reducing my quality?
    (Our Answer...)
   What nitrogen purity do I need for my heat treatment process?
    (Our Answer...)
   Why is control necessary for a protective atmosphere?
    (Our Answer...)
   I know my flowmeter tells me that I have a certain gas flow rate, but how can I be sure?
    (Our Answer...)
   I have measured the oxygen level in my continuous furnace, and it's low, but my parts still come out oxidized. Why?
    (Our Answer...)
   What causes stainless steel to turn green in a continuous belt furnace?
    (Our Answer...)
   How can I increase production flexibility and ensure the quality of my annealed components?
    (Our Answer...)
   Is it true that NFPA 86C has changed?
    (Our Answer...)
   What is dezincification and how does it apply to thermal processing of brass?
    (Our Answer...)
   I use high-pressure gas cylinders and am concerned about safety. Is there a better way?
    (Our Answer...)
   Can the increased temperature variability in my annealing furnace be causing the ductility variations in my product?
    (Our Answer...)
   My ceramic carrier tiles are deteriorating faster than expected. Could my atmosphere be affecting it?
    (Our Answer...)
   What causes discoloration and oxidation of stainless steels in brazing, sintering or annealing processes?
    (Our Answer...)
   I’m experiencing intermittent oxidation in my furnace. Could leaks in the nitrogen houseline be the problem?
    (Our Answer...)
   Why would I want to cryogenically treat tool steels? Does it really affect the microstructure?
    (Our Answer...)
   When does on-site nitrogen generation make sense versus liquid nitrogen delivery?
    (Our Answer...)
   How do I know if I’m wasting gas due to leaks in my gas piping?
    (Our Answer...)
   Can I determine where the oxidation on my heat treated parts is coming from within my furnace?
    (Our Answer...)
   How can I identify the stain or discoloration on my part after a heat treating process?
    (Our Answer...)
   We anneal and passivate 300 series stainless tube and sometimes get a “grey” coloration on the ID—can we keep it bright?
    (Our Answer...)
