How can the Monster™ help you to reduce the cost and/or improve the performance of your large components? Watch the video and then visit us at so we can collaborate on a Monster™ success story with you. It is, hands down, the most capable, precise, efficient, salt-quench furnace on the planet. Capable of carburizing or neutral hardening atmospheres and a high-speed quench with a mere 10✯ quench temperature rise when quenching a 10-ton load, the unit is unmatched in its attributes.Ĭarbo-Austempering™ of large steel gears, bearings or shafts, Austempering of large steel or ductile iron components for gearboxes, material handling, structural, pump and compressor components, processing of Carbidic ADI (CADI™) wear parts, and Austempered Gray Iron (AGI) components….the Monster Parts™ line does it all. What makes it exceptional is its performance and capabilities. (2134mm x 2438mm) footprint and 10-ton gross load capacity make it the largest integral quench batch furnace on the planet. Today the Monster Parts™ furnace is exceeding all expectations. The journey of the Monster™ from conception to delivery is captured in a video that can be accessed below: Finally, in 2012, the Monster Parts™ UBQA came to life.īuilt at AFC-Holcroft in Wixom, Michigan, USA, the furnace made its journey to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA for installation in a new, purpose-built shop the Monster Parts™ Division of AP Westshore. Then, over a McDonald’s lunch about ten years ago, the concept of a double-wide, high-capacity UBQA line was conceived. (1829mm x1829mm) followed….all with 3-ton load capacity. (1372mm) high units and units with a footprint of 72 in. (914mm x 1829mm x 914mm) UBQAs with 3 ton load capacity followed. UBQA technology advanced over the next 20 years. was founded to exploit the capabilities of the UBQA furnace and to commercialize the Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) process. (914mm x 1219mm x762mm) with a two ton gross load capability. This made the processing of larger forgings, weldments and castings a commercial reality. The UBQA’s quench was revolutionary in the application of ambient pressure, water addition and quenchant flow rate to produce a quenching rate that rivaled that of fast oil systems. UBQA technology integrated an atmosphere controlled furnace with a sealed salt quench. Eventually AFC’s Universal Batch Quench Austemper (UBQA) furnace was born. In the late 1970’s AFC embarked on a developmental project to improve the quench speed and efficiency of salt quenches. Atmosphere Furnace Company, now AFC Holcroft, founded in 1962, was one of the original companies of Atmosphere Group. was incorporated in 1984 to build on its parent’s cornerstone Austempering.
