1 Check the CBFS oil level by measuring depth. 2 Furnace blower to be started. The buttons are in the control panel. After five minute oil pump to be started. Buttons are left hand side of austenitic 3 Furnace (near oil pump units). 4 Austenitic Furnace burner (duly cleaned) light up one by one (Seven burners). 5 Set required temperature on temperature controller according to heat treatment cycle. 6 Loading materials as per heat treatment cycle. 7 Switch on the hydraulic pump buttons are in control panel. 8 After loading push trays one by one. Buttons are in front of austenitic furnace. 9 Soak properly as per heat treatment cycle. 10 Fast cooling blower set timer as per cycle required. The button is exit side of austenitic furnace.

At the time of hardening, heated trays take out from austenitic furnace, put on cradle, 11 timely quenched by pneumatic pusher. Buttons are in panel (Austenitic furnace exit side). Agitation pump immediately start. After quenching tray take out & check quench hardness then transfer to C.T. Furnace 12 for tempering, Temperature maintained as heat treatment Cycle. Please take care that all three circulation fans running continuously, along with water circulation fans too. 13 Polymer % to be checked by Refractor meter & Maintained as heat treatment cycle. 14 Polymer level maintained properly, If less increase by D.M water or polymer. 15 Polymer temperature to be maintained 28 to 40 degree centigrade. At the time of I.S.O thermal annealing & normalizing, the time of cooling & transfer to another furnace maintained as per heat treatment cycle.
