Heat Treatment & Forging

Heat treatment and forging furnaces are at the heart of modern metal processing. Whether quenching and tempering, normalising, hardening or forge heating – the refractory lining must ensure the highest temperature uniformity while minimising energy losses. Uneven heat distribution leads to quality defects on the workpiece and increased scrap.

SBS Refractory Service supports heat treatment operations and forges with tailor-made refractory concepts. Our range of services covers continuous furnaces such as walking beam, pusher and roller hearth furnaces as well as batch furnaces – chamber furnaces, bogie hearth furnaces, bell furnaces and forging furnaces. For every furnace type we select the optimum combination of refractory bricks and insulating materials.

Converting from a conventional dense brick lining to modern ceramic fibre modules offers considerable savings potential in many cases. We analyse your furnace operation, calculate the energy savings potential and implement the optimisation professionally – with measurable results in energy costs and heat-up times.
