Long-time heat treating expert, Peter Huskek of Phoenix Heat Treating, a fourth generation commercial heat treating institution, is branching out into the computer simulation arena with a very impressive, 3D temperature uniformity survey (TUS) reporting tool called Virtual Visual Surveys (www.virtualvisualsurveys.com). What Mr. Hushek and his team, including key developer Jeff Murch, have developed under the company name of Thermal Innovation Technologies, Inc., is a 3D visualization tool capable of showing furnace operators what their furnace uniformity looks like. This 3D visualization software helps quality personnel know if a furnace will pass a TUS, and if not why. It also allows maintenance personnel the opportunity to isolate and diagnose problem areas within the work area of the furnace. The 3D visualization package is offered as a service.
