Liquid heat treating

OK, I'm back in the UK now and the airline has lost my luggage with my camera in with all my pictures on, until that hopefully turns up I will explain more about the liquid heat treating process.

So this liquid heat treating process isn't some new radical process that promises crazy weight with standard tubes. Basically all heat treating processes are the same, the product is put into an oven and heated up which makes the frame stronger and a little lighter. Most of the ovens in Taiwan are heated with air which is fine for most frames but with light weight frames it can lead to all sorts of problems. Basically the air that heats the oven will heat certain parts of the oven more than other parts which will lead to some parts of the frames being over heated and being heated for too long leading to brittle welds and tubes but also some parts not being heated enough and leading to un even weight and tube strength

The liquid heat treating heats the oven with a liquid that is at a constant controled temperature but is also constantly circulating to avoid any temperature changes, this leads to a product that is perfectly and evenly heat treated and is a must for light weight stuff.

All of SA cromo products will be heated this way, but as mentioned this is not some new radical heat treating process its just a better way of heating the oven that heat treats the frames.
