Enabling technologies

Electron’s hydrogen fluoride ion cleaning furnaces provide a safe and highly effective method for the removal of coatings and oxide from hot-section gas turbine components. the HFIC furnace has a modular design with a single workstation and a separate electrically heated bell furnace. The workstations can be expanded to increase production capacity or to add other processes.

Thermal and thermochemical processes require special materials that are resistant to high temperatures, corrosion and/or oxidation. We help customers with the design and manufacture of high-quality parts made of stainless steel, nickel alloys and exotic materials. Material- and application knowledge combined with the craftsmanship and experience of our specialists. This results in better and stable process results and longer lifetimes. Meet Electron's solution.

Heating is essential and can be demanded in many shapes and sizes. Standard or custom. Part of a product or of a process. In a very small space or a large one. 50 to 1500 degrees Celsius. Electron designs and manufactures standard and custom strip, meander, and spiral elements of resistance material. Single pieces, project-based or in large series.

Plasma nitriding is an environmentally friendly and efficient nitriding process that uses plasma as an energy source. Due to the possibility of cleaning specific parts means of “sputtering”, and the repeatability of the process due to the excellent control technology, plasma nitriding offers the most consistent results of all nitriding processes. Plasma is the future for many thermochemical processes.

Our heating modules are designed for a wide range of thermal processing applications up to an element temperature of 1900°C (3452°F). Combining the best features of electrical heating and fibre or dense ceramic insulation, Electron's heating modules are suitable for the smallest laboratory furnaces and analysers to the largest production furnaces and stoves.

Cerafoam, a ceramic foam board, is an innovative, fibre-free, and lightweight insulation material with excellent thermal performance. Cerafoam is easy to machine, has high strength and high temperature resistance (up to 1,700°C) in combination with a low density, low thermal conductivity, and low permanent linear shrinkage. This makes the product extremely suitable as an insulation and construction material for high-temperature furnaces in, for example, dental, laboratory, ceramic, and industrial applications.
