Research and Development

CAN-ENG continues to invest heavily in the research and development of heat processing technologies with a dedicated Research and Development Center on site.

CAN-ENG's Technology Development Center leads improvements and changes in the heat treat industry.

These programs have three areas of industrial heating focus:

Developing new technology
Developing new processes
Improving and optimizing existing technology

CAN-ENG utilizes existing engineering tools such as 3D modeling and computational fluid dynamic modeling in its research and development initiatives.

Process Development Research & Product Testing

Our facility houses the following equipment and capabilities:
