Eliminating Residual Stress in Quartz Tubing
Residual stress remains the number-one invisible cause of tube fracturing inside horizontal furnace manifolds and process chambers. While raw fused silica possesses extraordinary mechanical strength, thermal gradients created during cutting, flame resizing, or end-sealing induce internal lattice stress.
Every Lovri production run undergoes controlled vacuum-assisted lehr annealing cycles up to 1215°C, followed by complete polarization inspection to ensure maximum stability under repeated thermal shock.
For procurement officers supplying plants in Miskolc, Győr, or Tatabánya, this eliminates unscheduled downtime caused by premature thermal breakage during production ramp-ups.
