Abstract

A heat treatment furnace using anthill has been designed and fabricated. Developing our local content in the production of heat treatment furnaces will be a major boost in the bid to take a prominent position in foundry and metallurgical engineering. It will contribute to checking the excess waste on the foreign scarce resources spent on the importation of heat treatment and crucible furnaces. Growing our technology is very important to promoting us into global recognition as producers instead of our unfortunate consuming nature which our nation is known for. The developed furnace has volume and height of 0.037m 3 and 0.188m respectively. It worked well when tested for about five hours.. It had an efficiency of 91.3% Keywords: Furnace, Design, heat treatment, foundry and Anthill DOI: 10.7176/ISDE/13-1-03 Publication date: March 31 st 2023
