Maintenance access
Equipment layout keeps key furnace zones accessible for inspection and routine service.
Ferritic stainless steel furnace
Ferritic Stainless Steel Furnace for 400 Series Strip
A stainless steel strip furnace for 409, 410 and 430 material where stable strip travel, continuous annealing and surface consistency are the main process targets.
Application fit
For plants that process ferritic stainless steel strip continuously.
The 400 series furnace route is selected around strip grade, strip travel, maintenance access and building layout. AKS configures furnace sections around 409, 410 or 430 material, strip width, surface target and available plant layout.
- Useful for ferritic stainless steel strip lines that require stable tension and clear maintenance pathways.
- Supports 409, 410 and 430 stainless steel bright annealing applications.
- Supports gas route or electric heating depending on plant utilities.
