Shihang updates the bright annealing furnace

 This comes after upgrading the otto junker furnace, extrusion press machines, and other quality testing equipment.

Shihang bright annealing furnace will improve the physical properties of CuNi 90/10 and CuNi 70/30 piping systems. Through this upgrade, Shihang aims to improve performance and surface finish of all shihang seamless copper nickel pipes (less than 419mm OD).

“Our focus is to manufacture seam welded and seamless copper nickel pipes that meet the dynamic needs in all applications,” Kurt Yang, Shihang Export Manager. “Therefore, as a company, we must upgrade our manufacturing plant, to increase our capacity and capability for the growing demand of CuNi 90/10 and CuNi 70/30 pipe systems.”

With the new annealing furnace, Shihang strictly controls most physical and chemical properties of copper-nickel pipes. The furnace accurately controls the annealing temperature, thereby hardening and removing all internal stresses in Shihang copper nickel pipes.

By upgrading the annealing furnace, Shihang will attain a better surface finish of copper-nickel pipes. The surface will be beautiful and brighter, thereby increasing the aesthetic value.

Even during the annealing process, the new furnace will not alter the chemical composition of the copper-nickel pipes.

With the efficient annealing furnace, which uses less energy, Shihang clients will benefit from the cost competitive copper nickel pipes. The new annealing furnace features an improved heating system and design, guaranteeing uniformity of the annealing process.

Since it controls the annealing temperature more accurately (about 800℃), Shihang strictly monitors the physical properties of copper-nickel pipes. Moreover, Shihang can produce copper nickel pipes with consistent and controllable mechanical properties.

Still, Shihang copper nickel pipes must pass strict quality control (QC) conforming to the DIN, EEMUA and ASME standards. Shihang uses modern Spectrograph, hydrostatical and tensile testing machines.
