Petrochemical cracking furnaces which operate at 2000°F/1150°C turn complex hydrocarbons into less complex materials like ethylene and propylene. Tubes inside the furnac are subject to carburization, the creation of a carbon coating. Taking advantage of proper metallurgy and alloy selection/control from MetalTek, and the MetalTek casting process, customers have minimized carbon buildup and extended product life by 30% or more.
