Contact with extreme temperatures is unavoidable in many manufacturing processes - for example when tempering, hardening or tempering steels or when directly handling red-hot workpieces in the glass industry. There is a risk that sensitive workpieces will be damaged by thermal shocks: Surfaces can crack, geometries can warp or technical properties can be lost.

Workpiece failure due to thermal shock can significantly impair both product quality and the entire process flow. To prevent this, materials must be used that are able to withstand extreme temperature differences without damage, without conducting heat back into the workpiece or damaging its surface.

Solutions with high-performance materials from DOCERAM, DOTHERM and ISOCOS offer decisive advantages here. They are specially developed to be used in direct contact with hot components - without thermal interactions or structural weaknesses.

Advantages of these materials when handling thermally sensitive components:

  • High thermal shock resistance - no cracking behavior with temperature jumps

  • Low thermal conductivity - no unwanted heat input into the workpiece

  • Gentle on surfaces - prevents scratches, pressure marks or adhesion

  • Dimensionally stable and resistant - even with repeated contact with red-hot material

  • Ideal for applications in the glass industry, heat treatment and metal processing

MEGATRON AG products reliably prevent workpiece failure due to thermal shock - for safe, material-compatible and economical process control in heat-stressed applications.
