Ticronic
Tool Steel Foil Wrap
Ticronic Tool Steel Foil is a type 321 annealed stainless steel used in the heat treating of tool steel parts. The wrap eliminates the need for Ni-Chrome box packing or the use of sawdust or other carbonaceous materials. No special controls or atmosphere furnaces are required. Guaranteed to be taken up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Simple to use; place tool in Ticronic Tool Steel Foil Wrap; fold over and crimp edges forming an airtight package; place package in oven and heat treat in usual way. Further technical information is available upon request. For special applications, Ticronic 309 or 321/.003″ thickness stainless steel foil is available for higher temperature applications.
- Cuts air hardening costs, eliminates Ni-Chrome box with charcoal and sawdust.
- No Special atmosphere controls needed.
- Saves time; allows in-house heat treating.
- Wrap tool in foil and heat in usual manner.
Ticronic
Ticronic 309 available for higher temperature applications such as high speed steels. Ticronic 309 can be used for temperatures approaching 2250 degrees Fahrenheit! Available in 50′ and 100’ rolls just like our regular ticronic. Ticronic 309 is the answer for high temperature heat treating. Works for most applications and eliminates the need for double wrapping or using .003″ thick foil. Please note that high temperature applications require tool to be at highest temperatures for a very short period of time. For best high temperature results follow instructions very specifically.
How Tool Steel Foil Wrap Works
Ticronic Tool Steel Foil Wrap is a type 321 annealed stainless steel used in the heat treating of tool steel parts. The wrap eliminates the need for Ni-Chrome box packing or the use of sawdust or other carbonaceous materials. No special controls or atmosphere furnace required. Simple to use; place tool in foil wrap; fold over and crimp edges to form an airtight package; place package in oven, heat treat in usual way. During heat treating the foil barrier prevents air from reaching the tool and reacting with the carbon on the surface, thereby preventing decarburization. Ticronic foil comes in 50′ rolls, approx. 100 square feet and 100′ rolls approx. 200 square feet. Material is .002″ thick and approx. 24″ wide.
