Annealing Carriers

The Top Source for Annealing Carriers in Georgia

For decades, Fabritex has built a reputation as the go-to source for annealing carriers and any other wire and coil fabrication needs, whether one-off or massive production runs. Our fabrication shop is based in Georgia, but we offer nationwide shipping.

The Annealing Process

Annealing carriers are specialized fixtures or holders used to support and transport wire coils through the annealing process. Annealing is a heat treatment or chemical bath process that alters the configuration of a material. After heating, the carrier and the wire are typically cooled either by air or by quenching in an oil or water bath. If quenching is used, especially in water or oil, stainless steel is usually required to resist corrosion and thermal stress.

Fabritex can create the exact annealing carriers you need, no matter the specifications your project demands. Request a quote to get started!

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are annealing carriers typically made from?

Annealing carriers are often made from a variety of heat-resistant materials like stainless steel or other coated metals. The material chosen is based on its ability to withstand extreme temperatures.

What is the ideal temperature range for annealing in a furnace?
The temperature range for annealing in a furnace varies depending on the material being annealed. For metals like steel, the ideal temperature is between 1,200°F (650°C) and 1,500°F (815°C). Aluminum materials may be significantly lower at 570°F (300°C) to 770°F (410°C).
How do I choose the right annealing carrier for my application?
To choose the right annealing carrier for your application, consider factors like the operating temperature you’ll be using, material compatibility, load size, and the furnace type. Custom-designed carriers may be needed for specialized processes.
