Welcome to the June issue of Furnaces International magazine!

In this edition, we shine a spotlight on greener furnace technologies, exploring innovative approaches to reduce environmental impact while enhancing efficiency and performance. From sustainable energy sources to emissions reduction strategies, we uncover the pivotal role of furnace technology in driving sustainability across sectors.

Additionally, we venture into the realm of thermal processing for space and additive manufacturing, uncovering the unique challenges and opportunities presented by these dynamic fields. From heat treatment in zero-gravity environments to the integration of advanced materials in additive manufacturing processes, we explore the frontier of furnace technology in space exploration and advanced manufacturing.

We are also delighted to feature The Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) as a world-leading metals research centre with a specific focus on metal forming and forging. Through collaborative research and innovative solutions, AFRC is spear-heading advancements in metal processing, forging new pathways for industry growth.
