Autogenious engineering - Methods and characteristics

The autogenous engineering includes various different processes, such as flame heating, flame cleaning, flame brazing, flame hardening and flame sintering. For all these processes a flammable gas is used such as acetylene, hydrogen, propane, butane, and ethane in combination with oxygen, compressed air or ambient air.

Fuel gas properties

A high temperature fuel gas/oxygen flame produces a quick increase of temperature on the surface of the work piece. A fuel gas/air flame works with a lower temperature (due to the amount of nitrogen in the air).

Heating burners for flame hardening

IBEDA supplies lane burners and multi-flame lane burners, ring burners and swivel-ring burners handles machine shafts, injectors and heating nozzles, control equipment, flame control equipment.

Heating burners for flame soldering

Use of the flame brazing process allows for bonding of various materials. This is achieved by using a melted additive – the solder. Brazing is mainly applied with copper and its various composite materials as well as Aluminium and materials with limited suitability for fusion welding processes.

Heating burners for flame straightening

The flame straightening is used in many applications. With a flame straightening burner defects can be eliminated and the required shapes of parts can be achieved, even for large work pieces common in ship building, tank construction or steel industry for example.

Heating burners for flame cleaning

Flame cleaning is a process for treatment of work piece surfaces. The thermal cleaning with Acetylene is applied where clean surfaces are required for further treatment of the work piece. Rust, mill scale, paint and scale slayer can be easily removed.

Heating burners for flame heating

Flame heating is a process for localized heating prior to forming of pre-manufactured parts, and for pre and post-heating during welding and cutting.

Heating burners for sintering

During the spraying operation, powder particles pass into and through the fuel gas/oxygen flame and onto the surface of the work piece.
