Preheating is a typical application used to heat products for a designated amount of time to prepare the product for the next step in the production process. A crucial step in many welding applications, preheating slows the rate of cooling in a finish weld, lowers the amount of hydrogen in it, and reduces the risk of cracking. Batch ovens and conveyor ovens are typically used for preheating oven applications and LEWCO engineers work with you to determine which oven best suits your production requirements.
