Attendees of a three-day heat treatment skills course received an extensive overview of furnace equipment, processes, maintenance, including hands-on training and casual open-discussion for all levels of experience in the heat-treating industry.
The first Ipsen U class of the year was held in April for participants from several states, including California, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as from other countries, including Israel and Mexico.
The instruction included an extensive range of topics from an introduction to vacuum and atmosphere furnaces to heat treating, furnace controls, subsystems, maintenance; examination of the different furnace components firsthand while learning how they affect other parts of the furnace and/or specific processes; and participation in a leak detection demonstration.
Ipsen has announced that its series of Ipsen U classes will continue June 5-7, August 7-9, and October 2-4.
