Roller Hearth Furnaces for Normalizing (NF) NORMALIZING FURNACES Tenova LOI furnaces may be heated into the furnace, or indirectly by Our normalising furnaces are Q&T lines in view of the rising demand for normalizing. influence the mechanical properties of carbon steel. For heavy plate normalizing, the process involves either by open burners firing directly radiant tubes. Our indirectly heated Roller Hearth Normalizing Furnaces (NF) provide a protective atmosphere to ensure the best possible surface quality. The use of nitrogen prevents scale formation on the steel heating to normalizing temperature...

Stationary and Continuous Quenches  High-throughput continuous quench for heavy plates. The quenching facility is the key component of a LOI heavy plate Q&T line. Tenova LOI Thermprocess offers stationary (throughputs of up to 10 t/h) and Continuous Quench facilities (up to more than 100 t/h). A Stationary Quench can handle one plate at a time. This extremely short type of Quench can be combined for example with LOI oscillating Roller Hearth Furnaces. The key advantages of a Continous Quench are higher throughput, higher reproducibility and higher cooling uniformity. The mechanical properties...
