Heat Treating is the controlled heating and cooling of metals to
alter their physical
and mechanical properties without changing the product shape. It
is often associated
with increasing the strength of material, but it can also be
used to alter certain
manufacturability objectives such as improving machining and
formability, or restoring
after a cold working operation.

Teams wireless, computer-controlled, SmartHeat portable
heat-treating system reduces labor costs and increases accuracy,
precision and record control. This state-of-the-art system allows
one operator to program heat cycles and variables into multiple
heaters simultaneously utilizing a complex controller with multiple
inputs for thermocouples and heater current. Multiple units can be
linked together with a wired communications cord or a wireless
transmitter to a central control point.
Teams Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Supervisory
Control And Data Acquistion (SCADA) software provide the brains of
our Wireless SmartHeat system to ensure piping and vessel systems
are heat-treated correctly the first time and every time. The
system is driven by interchangeable computer laptops that store
time and temperature information in encrypted form.
Quality is improved because customers and project managers have
the ability to monitor real-time temperatures on their cell phones,
PDAs and personal computers. Reduced errors result when temperature
requirements are verified from SmartHeat by Teams operations
support personnel before and during heat cycles.
Wireless heat treating delivers clear, concise docu-mentation
for customers while guaranteeing chart accuracy. It also allows the
chart to remain (1) on a hard drive and (2) backed up on a storage
device. Documentation saved electronically and stored locally is
available for fast retrieval for auditing purposes and/or
duplication.

Traditional low-voltage Electrical Resistance heat treating uses
ceramic blankets stepped down to 80 volts to provide a quick and
convenient approach to many jobs, particularly preheat and
post-weld heat treatment. Most electrical resistance heat treating
is performed either with the Team Sixway control console or the
Team 18-way mobile rig.
Welding Preheat Advanced automated systems control and document
welding preheat to reduce thermal stress in three primary ways.
First, it drives off moisture that would release hydrogen that
could penetrate the steel and cause porosity and subsequent
cracking. Second, it reduces heat loss to the surrounding metal,
minimizing the rate of weld hardening and allowing hydrogen that is
present to escape. And finally, it improves the microstructure and
durability of the heat-affected zone.
Post-weld Heat Treatment Carefully controlled PWHT is a crucial
step in maximizing the life of your process equipment. PWHT tempers
the metal and reduces tensile stresses, minimizing the risk of
brittle fracture, stress and corrosion cracking and metal fatigue.
This is especially important for equipment used in harsh service
environments. Our engineers ensure the structural integrity of the
vessel or unit during treatment, and Teams advanced Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) and wireless control technology achieves the
precise control needed to get the maximum benefit from the
treatment.
Line Thawing and Melt-out Teams electrical resistance heating
gets frozen lines flowing again quickly, and keeps them flowing
until your plants steam tracing system is working again. For
foundries that lose a heat source, our combustion services can melt
out anything from zinc to steel, 800F (427C) to 3,000F
(1,649C).
Hydrogen Removal We can improve the integrity of welded
components and minimize the risk of fabrication-related cracking.
Used prior to cutting or welding older process equipment, our
hydrogen removal technology can help protect equipment during
cutting and welding as well as improve the quality of the finished
work.
Electrical Resistance Heat Treating Capabilities
Heat Treatment (Annealing and Normalizing) We offer a range of
services for annealing and normalizing to alter the properties of
metals that may or may not contain welds.
Decontamination Electrical resistance heating has been
successfully utilized to decontaminate storage tanks that once held
toxic agents. The heating process drives residual chemical agents
off the tank walls so they can be collected, and the tanks can be
dismantled.

Teams burners are specifically designed to deliver the exact
amount of heat required depending on the job specifications.
Commonly, this ranges from 1 to 10 million BTUs (nozzle size from 2
to 8 inches, 51 to 203 mm). We also have burners that will deliver
an astonishing 100 million BTUs. In addition to multiple safety
interlocks and redundancies, these systems feature a turndown ratio
of 100:1, which allows our technicians to vary heat output from
candle intensity to full blast in increments as small as 1F/hour.
Output from 20HP blowers varies from 500 CFH to 168,000 CFH to
ensure that heat is distributed evenly regardless of a vessels
geometry.
Post-weld Heat Treatment Carefully controlled PWHT is a crucial
step in maximizing the life of your process equipment. PWHT tempers
the metal and reduces tensile stresses, minimizing the risk of
brittle fracture, stress and corrosion cracking and metal fatigue.
This is especially important for equipment used in harsh service
environments. Our engineers ensure the structural integrity of the
vessel or unit during treatment, and the companys advanced PLC and
wireless control technology achieves the precise control needed to
get the maximum benefit from the treatment.
Refractory Dry Out The secret to long refractory life is a
professional dry out using our high-velocity combustion systems to
ensure that every inch of your refractory is heated under control
as tight as 1/hour. Our dry outs (1) are designed to completely
remove both free and chemically held water to minimize spalling and
cracking, (2) prevent formation of thermal stresses that could
weaken the refractory, (3) minimize the potential for slip plane
and (4) assure cross-sectional ceramic bonding for exceptional
refractory campaign life. We also perform controlled heat-ups and
shutdowns that can further extend refractory life.
Most heat treatment processes require accurate control of the
material temperature. With the advent of fast acting combustion
burners and burner control systems it is easy to implement very
responsive cascade control to the furnace.

Induction Heat Treating Capabilities
Teams induction heating systems use a coil wrapped around the
object to create an electro- magnetic field that generates heat
within the object. These systems provide quick heating, fast setup
and teardown, the safety of cool coils, efficient power consumption
and narrowly focused heat. They are ideal for line thaws and
preheats, expansion/shrink fitting, bolt stretching, nut heating
and PWHT for single large components.
Turbine Rotor De-Stacks Quickly and safely heat rotor hubs to
remove disks from shaft. No need to use gas rings or electrical
resistance heaters.
Retaining Ring Removal Removal of generator retaining rings and
other shrink fit components.
Heating of Rotating Parts Pre-Heating and PWHT of rotating
components, such as turbine shafts, can be heated inside an
induction coil and monitored with wireless thermocouples.
Turbine Bolt Heating De-tensioning and tensioning of turbine
bolts. Typical heating time is two to eight minutes per bolt,
resulting in significant time savings for client.
Hydrogen Removal We can improve the integrity of welded
components and minimize the risk of fabrication-related cracking.
Used prior to cutting or welding older process equipment, our
hydrogen removal technology can help protect equipment during
cutting and welding as well as improve the quality of the finished
work.
High Temperature Heat Treatment (Annealing and Normalizing) We
offer a range of services for annealing and normalizing to alter
the properties of metals that may or may not contain welds.
Induction heating negates the need to remove hot electrical
resistance heaters from the work piece at high temperatures.
Line Thaws Induction cables up to 240 feet in length can be used
for line thaws. No need to remove insulation from the line as the
coil is placed over the insulation. This reduces set up time and
provides a substantial cost saving.
Exchanger Bundle Pulls Quick and easy set up assists with the
expansion of the exchanger body to allow the bundle to be pulled
from the exchanger.
Nut Heating Fast heating of nuts on hydro-cracker flanges,
reactors, and exchanger heads allow for quick dismantling of
components. Typical heating time is 30 seconds to two minutes per
nut. This application helps to eliminate bolt thread damage.
Advantages of Teams Induction Heat Treating Services
+ Low heat transfer makes it ideal for compression fits.
+ Thaws frozen lines without removing the service
insulation.
